NAME

Top

Mac::AETE::App - reads the Macintosh Apple event dictionary from an application.

SYNOPSIS

Top

     use Mac::AETE::App;
     use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

     $app = App->new("My Application");
     $formatter = Dictionary->new;
     $app->set_format($formatter);
     $app->read;
     $app->write;




DESCRIPTION

Top

The App module simplifies reading the Apple event dictionary from an application. It will launch the application if necessary to obtain the dictionary.

Methods

new

Example: ($name is the name of the application.)

     use Mac::AETE::App;
     use Mac::AETE::Format::Dictionary;

     $app = App->new($aete_handle, $name);

read

(Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

Reads the data contained in the AETE resource or handle. Example:

     $app->read;

set_format

(Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

Sets the output formatter used during by the 'write' subroutine. Example:

     $formatter = Dictionary->new;
     $app->set_format($formatter);




copy

(Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

Copies all suites from one Parser object into another. Example:

     $aete2 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
     $app->copy($aete2);

copies the suites from $aete2 into $aete.

merge

(Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

Merges suites from one Parser object into another. Only the suites that exist in both objects will be replaced. Example:

     $aete3 = Parser->new($aete_handle2, $another_name);
     $app->merge($aete3);

write

(Inherited from Mac::AETE::Parser.)

Prints the contents of the AETE or AEUT resource using the current formatter.

     $app->write;

INHERITANCE

Inherits from Mac::AETE::Parser.
