Lintian::IPC::Run3 - process functions based on IPC::Run3
use Lintian::IPC::Run3 qw(safe_qx);This module contains process functions based on IPC::Run3.
safe_qx(@cmd)Emulates the qx() operator but with array argument only.
Extracts the control file from DEBFILE and returns it as a hashref.
DEBFILE must be an ar file containing a "control.tar.gz" member, which in turn should contain a "control" file. If the "control" file is empty this will return an empty list.
Note: the control file is only expected to have a single paragraph and thus only the first is returned (in the unlikely case that there are more than one).
