Overview

The module encapsulates a keflagyword specification for xgettext like string extractors. It is only interesting for authors of extractors based on Locale::XGettext.

Constructors

new ARGS

Creates a new flag definition. ARGS must be a has (or a sequence of key-value pairs) with the following items:

function

The name of the function resp. keyword. This is mandatory.

arg

An integer N greater than 0 for the argument number.

flag

The name of the flag to be applied, for example "perl-brace-format" or "no-perl-brace-format". A possible prefix of "no-" or "pass-" is stripped off and interpreted accordingly but only if "pass" or "no" were not explicitly specified.

no

The entry should be marked with "no-FLAG" instead of "FLAG".

pass

As if "pass-FLAG" had been specified on the command-line. This is ignored by Locale::XGettext.

newFromString COMMAND_LINE_ARG

COMMAND_LINE_ARG has the same semantcis as the argument to "--flag" of xgettext(1). Note that a prefix of "pass-" is ignored by Locale::XGettext!

Methods

function

Get the function name for the keyword.

arg

Get the position of the argument.

flag

The flag (for example "perl-brace-format", "c-format", etc.)

no

True if entry should be marked as "no-FLAG".

pass

True if flag was preceded by "pass-". Ignored by Locale::XGettext.

dump

Dump the flag definition into a string suitable for an argument to the xgettext option '--flag'.
