NAME

       Lintian::CollScript - Collection script handle

SYNOPSIS

        use Lintian::CollScript;

        my $cs = Lintian::CollScript->new ("$ENV{'LINTIAN_ROOT'}/collection/index.desc");
        my $name = $cs->name;
        foreach my $needs ($cs->needs_info) {
           print "$name needs $needs\n";
        }

DESCRIPTION

       Instances of this class represents the data in the collection ".desc" files.  It allows access to the
       common meta data of the collection (such as Needs-Info).

CLASS METHODS

       new (FILE)
           Parse FILE as a collection desc file.

INSTANCE METHODS

       name
           Returns  the "name" of the collection script.  This is the value in the Collector-Script field in the
           file.

       type
           Returns the value stored in the "Type" field of  the  file.   For  the  purpose  of  testing  if  the
           collection applies to a given package type, the "is_type" method can be used instead.

       version
           Returns  the  value  of  the  "Version"  field of the file.  This should be an integer describing the
           version of the collector script.

       auto_remove
           Returns a truth value if the collection has the "auto-remove" flag.

       script_path
           Returns the absolute path to the collection script.

       interface
           The call interface for this collection script.

           exec
               The collection is run by invoking the script denoted by script_path with the proper arguments.

               This is the default value.

           perl-coll
               The collection is implemented in Perl in such a way that it can be loaded into perl and  run  via
               the "collect (PKG, TASK, DIR)" method.

               Collections  that  have  the "perl-coll" can also be run as if they had the "exec" interface (see
               above).

       needs_info ([COND])
           Returns a list of all items listed in the Needs-Info field.  Neither the list nor its contents should
           be modified.

           COND is optional  and  used  to  determine  what  conditions  are  true.   If  omitted,  all  "extra"
           dependencies  are returned.  Otherwise, only the dependencies required by COND are included.  COND is
           a hashref and with the following key/values:

           type
               The value is a package type that determines which package type is being unpacked.  This  is  used
               to determine if the condition for "<dep> [<type>]" relations are true or not.

       is_type (TYPE)
           Returns a truth value if this collection can be applied to a TYPE package.

       collect (PKG, TASK, DIR)
