DPKG::Parse::Available - Parse the "available" file

SYNOPSIS

Top

    use DPKG::Parse::Available;

    my $available = DPKG::Parse::Available->new;
    while (my $entry = $available->next_package) { 
        print $entry->package . " " . $entry->version . "\n";
    }

    my $postfix = $available->get_package('name' => 'postfix');

DESCRIPTION

Top

DPKG::Parse::Available parses a dpkg "available" file and turns each entry into a DPKG::Parse::Entry object. By default, it uses the Debian default location of "/var/lib/dpkg/available".

See DPKG::Parse for more information on the get_package and next_package methods.

See DPKG::Parse::Entry for more information on the entry objects.

METHODS

Top

new('filename' => '/var/lib/dpkg/available')

Creates a new DPKG::Parse::Available object. By default, it tries to open /var/lib/dpkg/available.
