NAME
Biber::Config - Configuration items which need to be saved across the
lifetime of a Biber object
This class contains a static object and static methods to access
configuration and state data. There are several classes of data in here
which have separate accessors:
* Biber options
* Biblatex options
* State information used by Biber as it processes entries
* displaymode date
_init
Reset internal hashes to defaults.
_initopts
Initialise default options, optionally with config file as argument
config_file
Returns the full path of the Biber configuration file. If returns the first file found
among:
• "biber.conf" in the current directory
• "$HOME/.biber.conf"
• "$ENV{XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/biber/biber.conf"
• "$HOME/Library/biber/biber.conf" (Mac OSX only)
• "$ENV{APPDATA}/biber.conf" (Windows only)
• the output of "kpsewhich biber.conf" (if available on the system).
If no file is found, it returns "undef".

[
{s => 'A',
t => 'B'},
{s => 'A',
t => 'E'},
{s => 'B',
t => 'C'},
{s => 'C',
t => 'D'} ];
labelalpha disambiguation
incr_la_disambiguation
Increment a counter to say we have seen this labelalpha
get_la_disambiguation
Get the disambiguation counter for this labelalpha.
Return a 0 for undefs to avoid spurious errors.
keyorder
set_keyorder
Set some key order information
get_keyorder
Get some key order information
get_keyorder_max
Get maximum key order number for a section
reset_keyorder
Reset keyorder - for use in tests where we switch to allkeys
seenkey
get_seenkey
Get the count of a key
incr_seenkey
Increment the seen count of a key
get_seenwork
Get the count of occurences of a labelname or labeltitle
incr_seenwork
Increment the count of occurences of a labelname or labeltitle
reset_seen_extra
Reset the counters for extra*
incr_seen_extrayear
Increment and return the counter for extrayear
incr_seen_extratitle
Increment and return the counter for extratitle
incr_seen_extratitleyear
Increment and return the counter for extratitleyear
incr_seen_extraalpha
Increment and return the counter for extraalpha
get_seen_nameyear
Get the count of an labelname/labelyear combination for tracking
extrayear. It uses labelyear plus name as we need to disambiguate
entries with different labelyear (like differentiating 1984--1986 from
just 1984)
incr_seen_nameyear
Increment the count of an labelname/labelyear combination for extrayear
We pass in the name and year strings separately as we have to
be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
a name component. Otherwise, extrayear gets defined for all
entries with no name but the same year etc.
get_seen_nametitle
Get the count of an labelname/labeltitle combination for tracking
extratitle.
incr_seen_nametitle
Increment the count of an labelname/labeltitle combination for extratitle
We pass in the name and year strings seperately as we have to
be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
a title component. Otherwise, extratitle gets defined for all
entries with no title.
get_seen_titleyear
Get the count of an labeltitle/labelyear combination for tracking
extratitleyear
incr_seen_titleyear
Increment the count of an labeltitle/labelyear combination for extratitleyear
We pass in the title and year strings seperately as we have to
be careful and only increment this counter beyond 1 if there is
a title component. Otherwise, extratitleyear gets defined for all
entries with no title.
uniquelistcount
get_uniquelistcount
Get the number of uniquelist entries for a (possibly partial) list
add_uniquelistcount
Incremenent the count for a list part to the data for a name
add_uniquelistcount_final
Incremenent the count for a complete list to the data for a name
add_uniquelistcount_minyear
Incremenent the count for a list and year to the data for a name
Used to track uniquelist = minyear
get_uniquelistcount_minyear
Get the count for a list and year to the data for a name
Used to track uniquelist = minyear
get_uniquelistcount_final
Get the number of uniquelist entries for a full list
reset_uniquelistcount
Reset the count for list parts and complete lists
list_differs_nth
Returns true if some other list differs at passed nth place
and is at least as long
list_differs_nth([a, b, c, d, e], 3) = 1
if there is another list like any of these:
[a, b, d, e, f]
[a, b, e, z, z, y]
list_differs_last
Returns true if some list differs from passed list in its last place
list_differs_last([a, b, c]) = 1
if there is another list like any of these:
[a, b, d]
[a, b, d, e]
list_differs_superset
Returns true if some list differs from passed list by being
identical to the list up to the end of the list but also
by having extra elements after this
list_differs_superset([a, b, c]) = 1
if there is another list like any of these:
[a, b, c, d]
[a, b, c, d, e]
uniquenamecount
get_numofuniquenames
Get the number of uniquenames entries for a visible name
get_numofuniquenames_all
Get the number of uniquenames entries for a name
add_uniquenamecount
Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
(only called for visible names)
add_uniquenamecount_all
Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
(called for all names)
reset_uniquenamecount
Reset the list of names which have the name part in it
_get_uniquename
Get the list of name contexts which contain a name
Mainly for use in tests
crossrefkeys
get_crossrefkeys
Return ref to array of keys which are crossref targets
get_crossrefkey
Return an integer representing the number of times a
crossref target key has been ref'ed
del_crossrefkey
Remove a crossref target key from the crossrefkeys state
incr_crossrefkey
Increment the crossreferences count for a target crossref key
set_displaymode
Set the display mode for a field.
setdisplaymode(['entrytype'], ['field'], ['citekey'], $value)
This sets the desired displaymode to use for some data in the bib.
Of course, this is entirey separate semantically from the
displaymodes *defined* in the bib which just tell you what to return
for a particular displaymode request for some data.
get_displaymode
Get the display mode for a field.
getdisplaymode(['entrytype'], ['field'], ['citekey'])
Returns the displaymode. In order of decreasing preference, returns:
1. Mode defined for a specific field in a specific citekey
2. Mode defined for a citekey
3. Mode defined for a fieldtype (any citekey)
4. Mode defined for an entrytype (any citekey)
5. Mode defined globally (any citekey)
dump
Dump config information (for debugging)
