""" Facilities for reading and writing Debian substvars files
The aim of this module is to provide programmatic access to Debian substvars
files to query and manipulate them. The format for the changelog is defined in
`deb-substvars(5)
<https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/dpkg-dev/deb-substvars.5.html>`_
Overview
========
The most common use-case for substvars is for package helpers to add or update
a substvars (e.g., to add a dependency). This would look something like:
>>> from debian.substvars import Substvars
>>> from tempfile import TemporaryDirectory
>>> import os
>>> # Using a tmp dir for the sake of doctests
>>> with TemporaryDirectory() as debian_dir:
... filename = os.path.join(debian_dir, "foo.substvars")
... with Substvars.load_from_path(filename, missing_ok=True) as svars:
... svars.add_dependency("misc:Depends", "bar (>= 1.0)")
By default, the module creates new substvars as "mandatory" substvars (that
triggers a warning by dpkg-gecontrol if not used. However, it does also
support the "optional" substvars introduced in dpkg 1.21.8. See
`Substvars.as_substvars` for an example of how to use the "optional"
substvars.
The :class:`Substvars` class is the key class within this module.
