NAME

       Lintian::IO::Async - process functions based on IO::Async

SYNOPSIS

        use Lintian::IO::Async qw(safe_qx);

DESCRIPTION

       This module contains process functions based on IO::Async.

FUNCTIONS

       "safe_qx(@cmd)"
           Emulates the "qx()" operator but with array argument only.

       get_deb_info(DEBFILE)
           Extracts the control file from DEBFILE and returns it as a hashref.

           DEBFILE must be an ar file containing a "control.tar.gz" member, which in turn should
           contain a "control" file.  If the "control" file is empty this will return an empty
           list.

           Note: the control file is only expected to have a single paragraph and thus only the
           first is returned (in the unlikely case that there are more than one).
