<H2>NAME</H2>
Dpkg::Compression - simple database of available compression methods
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
This modules provides a few public functions and a public regex to
interact with the set of supported compression methods.
<A NAME="lbAD">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>FUNCTIONS</H2>
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1">@list = <B>compression_get_list()</B><DD>
Returns a list of supported compression methods (sorted alphabetically).
<DT id="2">compression_is_supported($comp)<DD>
Returns a boolean indicating whether the give compression method is
known and supported.
<DT id="3">compression_get_property($comp, $property)<DD>
Returns the requested property of the compression method. Returns undef if
either the property or the compression method doesn't exist. Valid
properties currently include ``file_ext'' for the file extension,
``default_level'' for the default compression level,
``comp_prog'' for the name of the compression program and ``decomp_prog'' for
the name of the decompression program.
<DT id="4">compression_guess_from_filename($filename)<DD>
Returns the compression method that is likely used on the indicated
filename based on its file extension.
<DT id="5">$regex = <B>compression_get_file_extension_regex()</B><DD>
Returns a regex that matches a file extension of a file compressed with
one of the supported compression methods.
<DT id="6">$comp = <B>compression_get_default()</B><DD>
Return the default compression method. It is ``xz'' unless
<TT>&quot;compression_set_default&quot;</TT> has been used to change it.
<DT id="7">compression_set_default($comp)<DD>
Change the default compression method. Errors out if the
given compression method is not supported.
<DT id="8">$level = <B>compression_get_default_level()</B><DD>
Return the default compression level used when compressing data. It's ``9''
for ``gzip'' and ``bzip2'', ``6'' for ``xz'' and ``lzma'', unless
<TT>&quot;compression_set_default_level&quot;</TT> has been used to change it.
<DT id="9">compression_set_default_level($level)<DD>
Change the default compression level. Passing undef as the level will
reset it to the compressor specific default, otherwise errors out if the
level is not valid (see <TT>&quot;compression_is_valid_level&quot;</TT>).
<DT id="10">compression_is_valid_level($level)<DD>
Returns a boolean indicating whether <TT>$level</TT> is a valid compression level
(it must be either a number between 1 and 9 or ``fast'' or ``best'')
