Provided by: libxml-sax-perl_1.02+dfsg-3_all

NAME

       update-perl-sax-parsers - (de)register Perl SAX parser modules

SYNOPSIS

       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --add parser_module

       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --remove parser_module

       update-perl-sax-parsers [options] --update

DESCRIPTION

       update-perl-sax-parsers  inserts,  updates  and  removes individual Perl SAX parser module
       info files in the directory /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d and the overall  Perl
       SAX parser modules info file /etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini.

OPTIONS

--add Adds the per-module info file for the indicated Perl SAX parser module to the
directory /var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d.

--remove
Removes the per-module info file for Perl SAX parser module from the directory
/var/lib/libxml-sax-perl/ParserDetails.d.

--update
updates the overall Perl SAX parser modules info file
/etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini. The modules will be listed in an order of
ascending priority. See the PARSER PRIORITIES section below.

The file will be managed with ucf(1) , unless the --file option is used. See also
the --ucf option below.

--directory
When used with --add or with --remove indicates the ParserDetails.d directory to
use for storing the per-module Perl SAX parser module info file. When used one or
more times with --update indicates the ParserDetails.d directories to be used as
source for generating the ParserDetails.ini file. Default is /var/lib/libxml-sax-
perl/ParserDetails.d.

--file Indicates the ParserDetails.ini file up be updated. Default is
/etc/perl/XML/SAX/ParserDetails.ini.

--priority XX
Specifies the priority of the SAX parser module to be added removed. The priority
will be encoded to the filename of the ParserDetails.d entry. See the PARSER
PRIORITIES section below.

This option was added in version 0.3 of update-perl-sax-parsers . Use the value
"0" to disable the encoding and match the behaviour of earlier versions of the
script.

The default priority value is 50, unless --directory was specified, in which case
the default is 0 (disabled.)

--ucf X
Forcibly enable (X != 0) or disable (X = 0) of ucf(1) . By default, ucf(1) will be
used to manage the ParserDetails.ini file when --file is not specified.

--quiet
Prevents any diagnostic output.

--test Prevents the modification of any files and enables debugging mode.

--version
Displays the version information and exits.

--help Display the usage information and exits.

PARSER PRIORITIES

       Starting with version 0.3 of update-perl-sax-parsers , the parsers are assigned a priority
       value that is encoded into the names  of  the  files  in  the  ParserDetails.d  directory.
       Specifically,  the  file name will be "XX-Some::Module", where XX denotes the priority and
       Some::Module is the name of the parser module.

       When --update is called, the parsers are listed in an order of ascending priority into the
       ParserDetails.ini  file.  The  last  parser  in  the  file,  ie.  the one with the highest
       priority, is the default XML::SAX parser.

       Parsers with the same priority are sorted alphabetically by their name.  This is  contrary
       to  the  behaviour of earlier versions, where the sort order was undefined and depended on
       the underlying file system.

NOTE

       Installing the original package from CPAN into /usr/local breaks the Debian package, since
       the former is in Perl's @INC before the latter.  So, please don't do this.

       If there's a new version of XML::SAX simply file a wishlist against the Debian package and
       wait for the update.
