Dpkg::Vendor(3)                            libdpkg-perl                           Dpkg::Vendor(3)



NAME
       Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information

DESCRIPTION
       The files in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/ can provide information about various vendors who are
       providing Debian packages. Currently those files look like this:

         Vendor: Debian
         Vendor-URL: https://www.debian.org/
         Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org

       If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the relationship by
       listing the base distribution in the Parent field:

         Parent: Debian

       The file should be named according to the vendor name.

FUNCTIONS
       $dir = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_dir()
           Returns the current dpkg origins directory name, where the vendor files are stored.

       $fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)
           Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the corresponding
           vendor file in $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/. If $name is omitted, it will use
           $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default which is supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the
           currently installed operating system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given
           vendor.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)
           Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()
           Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it uses that first,
           otherwise it falls back to parsing $Dpkg::CONFDIR/origins/default.  If that file
           doesn't exist, it returns undef.

       $object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)
           Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.  If $name is omitted,
           return the object of the current vendor.  If no vendor can be identified, then return
           the Dpkg::Vendor::Default object.

       Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
           Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
