NAME

       ZoneMinder::ConfigData - ZoneMinder Configuration Data module

SYNOPSIS

       use ZoneMinder::ConfigData; use ZoneMinder::ConfigData qw(:all);

       loadConfigFromDB(); saveConfigToDB();

DESCRIPTION

       The ZoneMinder:ConfigData module contains the master definition of the ZoneMinder configuration options
       as well as helper methods. This module is intended for specialist configuration management and would not
       normally be used by end users.

       The configuration held in this module, which was previously in zmconfig.pl, includes the name, default
       value, description, help text, type and category for each option, as well as a number of additional
       fields in a small number of cases.

METHODS

       loadConfigFromDB ();
           Loads  existing  configuration  from the database (if any) and merges it with the definitions held in
           this module. This results in the merging of any new configuration and the removal of  any  deprecated
           configuration while preserving the existing values of every else.

       saveConfigToDB ();
           Saves  configuration held in memory to the database. The act of loading and saving configuration is a
           convenient way to ensure that the configuration held in the database corresponds with the most recent
           definitions and that all components are using the same set of configuration.

   EXPORT
       None by default.  The :data tag will export the various configuration data structures The :functions  tag
       will export the helper functions.  The :all tag will export all above symbols.
