NAME

       App::Cme::Command::modify - Modify the configuration of an application

VERSION

       version 1.010

SYNOPSIS

         # modify configuration with command line
         cme modify dpkg source 'format="(3.0) quilt"'

         # likewise with an application that accepts file override
         cme modify dpkg-copyright ~~ 'Comment="Modified with cme"'

DESCRIPTION

       Modify a configuration file with the values passed on the command line.  These command
       must follow the syntax defined in Config::Model::Loader (which is similar to the output of
       cme dump command)

       Example:

          cme modify dpkg source format="(3.0) quilt"
          cme modify multistrap my_mstrap.conf sections:base source="http://ftp.fr.debian.org"

       Some application like dpkg-copyright allows you to override the configuration file name.
       The problem is to make the difference between the overridden file name and the
       modification instruction you want to apply.

       Either you specify both overridden file name modifications:

          cme modify dpkg-copyright ubuntu/copyright 'Comment="Silly example"

       Or you use "~~" to use the default file name:

          cme modify dpkg-copyright ~~ 'Comment="Another silly example"

       Another example which restores the default value of the text of all GPL like licenses :

          cme modify dpkg-copyright ~~ 'License=~/GPL/ text~'

       Or update the copyright years of the package maintainer's file:

          cme modify dpkg-copyright ~~ 'File=debian/* Copyright=~s/2013/2014/'

Common options

       See "Global Options" in cme.

options

       -save
           Force a save even if no change was done. Useful to reformat the configuration file.
