NAME
Dpkg::Compression - simple database of available compression methods
DESCRIPTION
This modules provides a few public funcions and a public regex to interact with the set of
supported compression methods.
FUNCTIONS
my @list = compression_get_list()
Returns a list of supported compression methods (sorted alphabetically).
compression_is_supported($comp)
Returns a boolean indicating whether the give compression method is known and
supported.
compression_get_property($comp, $property)
Returns the requested property of the compression method. Returns undef if either the
property or the compression method doesn't exist. Valid properties currently include
"file_ext" for the file extension, "default_level" for the default compression level,
"comp_prog" for the name of the compression program and "decomp_prog" for the name of
the decompression program.
compression_guess_from_filename($filename)
Returns the compression method that is likely used on the indicated filename based on
its file extension.
my $regex = compression_get_file_extension_regex()
Returns a regex that matches a file extension of a file compressed with one of the
supported compression methods.
my $comp = compression_get_default()
Return the default compression method. It's "gzip" unless "compression_set_default"
has been used to change it.
compression_set_default($comp)
Change the default compression method. Errors out if the given compression method is
not supported.
my $level = compression_get_default_level()
Return the default compression level used when compressing data. It's "9" for "gzip"
and "bzip2", "6" for "xz" and "lzma", unless "compression_set_default_level" has been
used to change it.
compression_set_default_level($level)
Change the default compression level. Passing undef as the level will reset it to the
compressor specific default, otherwise errors out if the level is not valid (see
"compression_is_valid_level").
compression_is_valid_level($level)
Returns a boolean indicating whether $level is a valid compression level (it must be
either a number between 1 and 9 or "fast" or "best")
CHANGES
Version 1.02
New function: compression_get_file_extension_regex()
Deprecated variables: $default_compression, $default_compression_level and
$compression_re_file_ext
Version 1.01
Default compression level is not global any more, it is per compressor type.
Version 1.00
Mark the module as public.
