DPKG::CONTROL::TESTS::ENTRY(3perl)

💅 Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry(3perl) 💅

ok so bestie, welcome to the libdpkg-perl girlies' corner of the manual pages — this is Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry(3perl) and she's here to explain one very specific little vibe: a single test suite entry. yes, that's her whole job, and she does it slayfully ✨

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry — literally just represents a test suite entry, no cap 🧚

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

This class represents a test suite entry. that's it, that's the tweet 💅 she's a representation, she's a whole class, she's the test suite entry moment.

✨ METHODS ✨

ok so first things first: all the methods of Dpkg::Control are available to you here. every single one, they're all still in the group chat 🫶. the ones listed below are either brand new or overridden with a different behavior — so like, same name, different energy, iykyk.

• $entry = Dpkg::Control::Tests::Entry->new(%opts) — creates a new object, periodt. but listen: it does not represent a real control test entry until one has been successfully parsed or built from scratch. so like, she exists, but she's not her yet, you feel me? 🙈 the options are passed through to the Dpkg::Control->new() constructor — so whatever %opts you're handing over, they go straight to that constructor, no detours 💫
• $bool = $entry->parse($fh, $desc) — parses a control test entry from a filehandle. when called multiple times, the parsed fields are accumulated — so every call just keeps stacking, she's collecting them like they're limited edition stickers 🦋. returns true if parsing was a success 💖

🔥 CHANGES 🔥

⭐ Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.18.8)
