DESCRIPTION

RoPkg::Rsync::Atom is a class used by RoPkg::Rsync modules. The Atom is considered the smallest part of any rsync configuration file. An atom can be (at this moment):

param
blank
comment

METHODS

All methods, throw the OutsideClass exception, if you use them as class methods.

Example:

perl -MRoPkg::Rsync::Atom -e 'RoPkg::Rsync::Atom->Type;' Called outside class instance

Besides OutsideClass the methods are throwing other exceptions as well. Refer to each method documentation for more information.

\$1

The constructor of the class. new accepts 3 parameters grouped inside a hash:

*) type - type of the atom
*) name - name of the atom
*) value - value of the atom

The type parameter must always be present. If the type parameter is not present, a Param::Missing exception is raised. At this moment, the atoms have 3 types:

*) param - a parameter in the standard form (name = value)
*) comment - a comment
*) blank - a blank line (or only with separators)

If the value of the type parameter is not one of the ones specified a Param::Wrong exception is raised.

Examples:

example 1 (param):

my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom( type => 'param', name => 'gid', value => 'users', );

example 2 (param):

my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom(type => 'param'); $a->Name('gid'); $a->Value('users'); print 'Name of the atom is:',$a->Name,$/;

example 3 (comment):

my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom( type => 'comment', value => '# this is the group id', );

example 4 (blank):

my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom( type => 'blank', value => q{ }, ); The Name method is a get/set method. If $new_name exists (and his value is defined) then the set behaviour is selected, otherwise the method acts as a get method. Returns the name of the atom. The Value method is a get/set method. If $new_value exists (and his value is defined) then the set behaviour is selected, otherwise the method acts as a get method. Returns the value of the atom. Returns the string representation of the atom. Accepts 2 parameters: indent and spaces. $indent is a true/false value specifing that the string representation should be prefixed with a tab character; $spaces is used to compute the number of spaces that should be added after the atom name, so that the total length of the parameter name to match the $spaces value.

Example:

my $a = new RoPkg::Rsync::Atom( type => 'param', name => 'gid', value => 'users', );

print $a->ToString(0, 6),$/, $a->ToString(0, 5),$/, $a->ToString(0, 4),$/, $a->ToString(0, 3),$/, $a->ToString(1, 6),$/, $a->ToString(1, 5),$/, $a->ToString(1, 4),$/, $a->ToString(1, 3),$/;

The result is: gid = users gid = users gid = users gid = users

        gid    = users
        gid   = users
        gid  = users
        gid = users

Returns the type (string representation) of the atom.
