NAME

       ZoneMinder::ConfigData - ZoneMinder Configuration Data module

SYNOPSIS

         use ZoneMinder::ConfigData;
         use ZoneMinder::ConfigData qw(:all);

         loadConfigFromDB();
         saveConfigToDB();

DESCRIPTION

       The ZoneMinder:ConfigData module contains the master definition of the ZoneMinder
       configuration options as well as helper methods. This module is intended for specialist
       confguration management and would not normally be used by end users.

       The configuration held in this module, which was previously in zmconfig.pl, includes the
       name, default value, description, help text, type and category for each option, as well as
       a number of additional fields in a small number of cases.

METHODS

       loadConfigFromDB ();
           Loads existing configuration from the database (if any) and merges it with the
           definitions held in this module. This results in the merging of any new configuration
           and the removal of any deprecated configuration while preserving the existing values
           of every else.

       saveConfigToDB ();
           Saves configuration held in memory to the database. The act of loading and saving
           configuration is a convenient way to ensure that the configuration held in the
           database corresponds with the most recent definitions and that all components are
           using the same set of configuration.

   EXPORT
       None by default.  The :data tag will export the various configuration data structures The
       :functions tag will export the helper functions.  The :all tag will export all above
       symbols.
