NAME

       Lintian::Processable::Installable - Lintian interface to binary package data collection

SYNOPSIS

           my ($name, $type, $dir) = ('foobar', 'binary', '/path/to/lab-entry');
           my $collect = Lintian::Processable::Installable->new($name);

DESCRIPTION

       Lintian::Processable::Installable provides an interface to package data for binary
       packages.  It implements data collection methods specific to binary packages.

       This module is in its infancy.  Most of Lintian still reads all data from files in the
       laboratory whenever that data is needed and generates that data via collect scripts.  The
       goal is to eventually access all data about binary packages via this module so that the
       module can cache data where appropriate and possibly retire collect scripts in favor of
       caching that data in memory.

       Native heuristics are only available in source packages.

INSTANCE METHODS

       unpack
