🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to Dpkg::Control::Fields(3perl) — it's part of libdpkg-perl, and its whole job is to manage (list of official) control fields. that's the vibe. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this module is literally holding a list of field names — both vendor-neutral and vendor-specific — and each one has associated meta-data attached that explains which type of control information it's allowed in. no cap. 🫶

the vendor-neutral field names and all the functions are inherited from Dpkg::Control::FieldsCore. iconic inheritance moment, fr fr. 🧚
