Biber::Config

Configuration items which need to be saved across the

    Initialise default options, optionally with config file as argument

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".

    Return a boolean saying whether uniquenename+uniquelist processing is finished


    Set a boolean saying whether uniquename+uniquelist has changed


    Place to postprocess biber options when they have been
    gathered from all the possible places that set them


    Sets the data model information object


    Gets the data model information object


    Stores the path to the control file


    Retrieved the path to the control file


    Store a Biber config option


    Get a Biber option


    Store a Biber command-line option


    Store a Biber config-file option


    Check if an option is explicitly set by user on the command
    line


    Check if an option is explicitly set by user in their
    config file


    Check if an option is explicitly set by user on the command
    line or in the config file


    Set a biblatex option on the appropriate scope


    Get a biblatex option from the global, per-type or per entry scope
    getblxoption('option', ['entrytype'], ['citekey'])
    Returns the value of option. In order of decreasing preference, returns:
    1. Biblatex option defined for entry
    2. Biblatex option defined for entry type
    3. Biblatex option defined globally


   Record node and arc connection types for .dot output


    Return an inheritance graph data structure for an inheritance type


  Record a parent->child set relationship


  Record a child->parent set relationship


  Return a boolean saying if there is a parent->child set relationship


  Return a boolean saying if there is a child->parent set relationship


  Return a list of children for a parent set


  Return a list of parents for a child of a set


    Record that $target inherited information from $source
    Can be used for crossrefs and xdata. This just records that an entry
    inherited from another entry, for loop detection.


    Check if $target directly inherited information from $source
    Can be used for crossrefs and xdata


  Checks for an inheritance path from entry $e1 to $e2
  Can be used for crossrefs and xdata

    Increment a counter to say we have seen this labelalpha


    Get the disambiguation counter for this labelalpha.
    Return a 0 for undefs to avoid spurious errors.


  Set some key order information


  Get some key order information


  Get maximum key order number for a section


  Reset keyorder - for use in tests where we switch to allkeys


    Get the count of a key


    Increment the seen count of a key


    Get the count of occurences of a labelname or labeltitle


    Increment the count of occurences of a labelname or labeltitle


    Reset the counters for extra*


    Increment and return the counter for extrayear


    Increment and return the counter for extratitle


    Increment and return the counter for extratitleyear


    Increment and return the counter for extraalpha


    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)


    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 the count of an labelname/labeltitle combination for tracking
    extratitle.


    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 the count of an labeltitle/labelyear combination for tracking
    extratitleyear


    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.


    Get the number of uniquelist entries for a (possibly partial) list


    Incremenent the count for a list part to the data for a name


    Incremenent the count for a complete list to the data for a name


    Incremenent the count for a list and year to the data for a name
    Used to track uniquelist = minyear


    Get the count for a list and year to the data for a name
    Used to track uniquelist = minyear


    Get the number of uniquelist entries for a full list


    Reset the count for list parts and complete lists


    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]


    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]


    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]


    Get the number of uniquenames entries for a visible name


    Get the number of uniquenames entries for a name


    Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
    (only called for visible names)


    Add a name to the list of name contexts which have the name in it
    (called for all names)


    Reset the list of names which have the name part in it


    Get the list of name contexts which contain a name
    Mainly for use in tests


    Return ref to array of keys which are crossref targets


    Return an integer representing the number of times a
    crossref target key has been ref'ed


    Remove a crossref target key from the crossrefkeys state


    Increment the crossreferences count for a target crossref key


    Dump config information (for debugging)
