💖 Alien::Packages::PkgInfo 💖

okay bestie, so this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation collection — it's the manual for Alien::Packages::PkgInfo, which is the little module whose whole entire personality is handling Sun's pkginfo. that's it. that's the job. and it does it flawlessly, no cap. ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

Alien::Packages::PkgInfo — handles Sun's pkginfo

like. that's the vibe. it deals with pkginfo. sun. you know. 🌞

🦋 ISA 🦋

the family tree, the lineage, the bloodline 👑

Alien::Packages::PkgInfo
ISA Alien::Packages::Base

so yeah, Alien::Packages::PkgInfo is-a Alien::Packages::Base. it inherited the whole aura. main character energy by descent, fr fr. 💅

✨ SUBROUTINES/METHODS ✨

🌸 usable 🌸

returns true when the commands pkginfo and pkgchk could be found in the path.

that's the vibe check!! ✅ if both pkginfo and pkgchk are chillin' somewhere in your path, you get a true back. if either one ghosted you, you don't. it's giving "are we even on a Sun box rn" energy. 😭

🎀 list_packages 🎀

returns the list of installed packages.

just. the whole roster. every installed package, listed. no drama, no filter, no gatekeeping. 💖

🫶 list_fileowners 🫶

returns the packages which have a registered dependency on specified files.

you hand it some files, it tells you which packages are lowkey obsessed with them (i.e. have a registered dependency on them). so if you're like "who even needs this file??" — this method is your girl. 🔥
