DESCRIPTION
This module provides a class that can manipulate Debian source package
debian/source/format files.
METHODS
$f = Dpkg::Source::Format->new(%opts)
Creates a new object corresponding to a source package's
debian/source/format file.
Options:

Set the filename to use to parse and set the format.
format
Set and validate the format to use instead of loading the
default file, if no filename has been specified.
$f->set_from_parts($major[, $minor[, $variant]])
Sets the source format from its parts. The $major part is mandatory.
The $minor and $variant parts are optional.
Notice: This function performs no validation.
($major, $minor, $variant) = $f->set($format)
Sets (and validates) the source $format specified. Will return the
parsed format parts as a list, the optional $minor and $variant
parts might be undef.
($major, $minor, $variant) = $f->get()
$format = $f->get()
Gets the source format, either as properly formatted scalar, or as a
list of its parts, where the optional $minor and $variant parts
might be undef.
$count = $f->parse($fh, $desc)
Parse the source format string from $fh, with filehandle description
$desc.
$count = $f->load($filename)
Parse $filename contents for a source package format string.
$str = $f->output([$fh])
"$f"
Returns a string representing the source package format version. If
$fh is set, it prints the string to the filehandle.
