NAME
       Dpkg::BuildFlags - query build flags

DESCRIPTION
       This class is used by dpkg-buildflags and can be used to query the same
       information.

METHODS
       $bf = Dpkg::BuildFlags->new()
           Create a new Dpkg::BuildFlags object. It will be initialized based
           on the value of several configuration files and environment
           variables.

           If the option vendor_defaults is set to false, then no vendor
           defaults are initialized (it defaults to true).

       $bf->load_vendor_defaults()
           Reset the flags stored to the default set provided by the vendor.

       $bf->load_system_config()
           Update flags from the system configuration.

       $bf->load_user_config()
           Update flags from the user configuration.

       $bf->load_environment_config()
           Update flags based on user directives stored in the environment.
           See dpkg-buildflags(1) for details.

       $bf->load_maintainer_config()
           Update flags based on maintainer directives stored in the
           environment. See dpkg-buildflags(1) for details.

       $bf->load_config()
           Call successively load_system_config(), load_user_config(),
           load_environment_config() and load_maintainer_config() to update
           the default build flags defined by the vendor.

       $bf->unset($flag)
           Unset the build flag $flag, so that it will not be known anymore.

       $bf->set($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
           Update the build flag $flag with value $value and record its origin
           as $source (if defined). Record it as maintainer modified if $maint
           is defined and true.

       $bf->set_feature($area, $feature, $enabled)
           Update the boolean state of whether a specific feature within a
           known feature area has been enabled. The only currently known
           feature areas are "future", "qa", "sanitize", "optimize",
           "hardening" and "reproducible".

       $bf->get_feature($area, $feature)
           Returns the value for the given feature within a known feature
           area.  This is relevant for builtin features where the feature has
           a ternary state of true, false and undef, and where the latter
           cannot be retrieved with use_feature().

       $bf->use_feature($area, $feature)
           Returns true if the given feature within a known feature areas has
           been enabled, and false otherwise.  The only currently recognized
           feature areas are "future", "qa", "sanitize", "optimize",
           "hardening" and "reproducible".

       $bf->set_builtin($area, $feature, $enabled)
           Update the boolean state of whether a specific feature within a
           known feature area is handled (even if only in some architectures)
           as a builtin default by the compiler.

       $bf->get_builtins($area)
           Return, for the given area, a hash with keys as feature names, and
           values as booleans indicating whether the feature is handled as a
           builtin default by the compiler or not. Only features that might be
           handled as builtins on some architectures are returned as part of
           the hash. Missing features mean they are currently never handled as
           builtins by the compiler.

       $bf->set_option_value($option, $value)
           Private method to set the value of a build option.  Do not use
           outside of the dpkg project.

       $bf->get_option_value($option)
           Private method to get the value of a build option.  Do not use
           outside of the dpkg project.

       $bf->strip($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
           Update the build flag $flag by stripping the flags listed in $value
           and record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it as
           maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.

       $bf->append($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
           Append the options listed in $value to the current value of the
           flag $flag.  Record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it
           as maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.

       $bf->prepend($flag, $value, $source, $maint)
           Prepend the options listed in $value to the current value of the
           flag $flag.  Record its origin as $source (if defined). Record it
           as maintainer modified if $maint is defined and true.

       $bf->update_from_conffile($file, $source)
           Update the current build flags based on the configuration
           directives contained in $file. See dpkg-buildflags(1) for the
           format of the directives.

           $source is the origin recorded for any build flag set or modified.

       $bf->get($flag)
           Return the value associated to the flag. It might be undef if the
           flag doesn't exist.

       $bf->get_feature_areas()
           Return the feature areas (i.e. the area values has_features will
           return true for).

       $bf->get_features($area)
           Return, for the given area, a hash with keys as feature names, and
           values as booleans indicating whether the feature is enabled or
           not.

       $bf->get_origin($flag)
           Return the origin associated to the flag. It might be undef if the
           flag doesn't exist.

       $bf->is_maintainer_modified($flag)
           Return true if the flag is modified by the maintainer.

       $bf->has_features($area)
           Returns true if the given area of features is known, and false
           otherwise.  The only currently recognized feature areas are
           "future", "qa", "sanitize", "optimize", "hardening" and
           "reproducible".

       $bf->has($option)
           Returns a boolean indicating whether the flags exists in the
           object.

       @flags = $bf->list()
           Returns the list of flags stored in the object.
