DESCRIPTION
This is a module to ease writing ConfModules for Debian's configuration
management system. It can communicate with a FrontEnd via the debconf
protocol (which is documented in full in the debconf_specification in
Debian policy).
The design is that each command in the protocol is represented by one
function in this module (with the name lower-cased). Call the function and
pass in any parameters you want to follow the command. If the function is
called in scalar context, it will return any textual return code. If it is
called in list context, an array consiting of the numeric return code and
the textual return code will be returned.
This module uses Exporter to export all functions it defines. To import
everything, simply import “:all”.
"import"
Ensure that a FrontEnd is running. It's a little hackish. If
\s-1DEBIAN_HAS_FRONTEND\s0 is set, a FrontEnd is assumed to be running.
If not, one is started up automatically and stdin and out are
connected to it. Note that this function is always run when the
module is loaded in the usual way.
"stop"
The frontend doesn't send a return code here, so we cannot try to read it
or we'll block.
"\s-1AUTOLOAD\s0"
Creates handler functions for commands on the fly.
