Struct rust_apt::config::Config

pub struct Config {}

Struct for Apt Configuration

All apt configuration methods do not require this struct. You can call the bindings directly from raw::apt if you would like.

Implementations

impl Config

pub fn new() -> Self

Create a new config object and safely init the config system.

If you initialize the struct without new() or default() You will need to manually initialize the config system.

pub fn new_clear() -> Self

Clears all configuratations, re-initialize, and returns the config object.

pub fn reset(&self)

Resets the configurations.

If you’d like to clear everything and NOT reinit you can call self.clear_all or apt::config_clear_all directly

pub fn clear(&self, key: &str)

Clears all values from a key.

If the value is a list, the entire list is cleared. If you need to clear 1 value from a list see self.clear_value

pub fn clear_value(&self, key: &str, value: &str)

Clear a single value from a list. Used for removing one item in an apt configuruation list

pub fn clear_all(&self)

Clears all configuratations.

This will leave you with an empty configuration object and most things probably won’t work right.

pub fn dump(&self) -> String

Returns a string dump of configuration options separated by \n

pub fn find(&self, key: &str, default: &str) -> String

Find a key and return it’s value as a string.

default is what will be returned if nothing is found.

pub fn get(&self, key: &str) -> Option<String>

Exactly like find but takes no default and returns an option instead.

pub fn file(&self, key: &str, default: &str) -> String

Find a file and return it’s value as a string.

default is what will be returned if nothing is found.

key = "Dir::Cache::pkgcache" should return /var/cache/apt/pkgcache.bin

There is not much difference in self.dir and self.file

dir will return with a trailing / where file will not.

pub fn dir(&self, key: &str, default: &str) -> String

Find a directory and return it’s value as a string.

default is what will be returned if nothing is found.

key = "Dir::Etc::sourceparts" should return /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

There is not much difference in self.dir and self.file

dir will return with a trailing / where file will not.

pub fn bool(&self, key: &str, default: bool) -> bool

Same as find, but for boolean values.

pub fn int(&self, key: &str, default: i32) -> i32

Same as find, but for i32 values.

pub fn find_vector(&self, key: &str) -> Vec<String>

Return a vector for an Apt configuration list.

An example of a common key that contains a list APT::NeverAutoRemove.

pub fn contains(&self, key: &str) -> bool

Simply check if a key exists.

pub fn set(&self, key: &str, value: &str)

Set the given key to the specified value.

pub fn set_vector(&self, key: &str, values: &Vec<&str>)

Add strings from a vector into an apt configuration list.

If the configuration key is not a list, you will receive a vector with one item.

Example:

use rust_apt::config::Config;
let config = Config::new();

let apt_list = vec!["This", "is", "my", "apt", "list"];
// Using "AptList" here will not work and will panic.
config.set_vector("AptList", &apt_list);

Trait Implementations

impl Default for Config

fn default() -> Self

Create a new config object and safely init the config system.

If you initialize the struct without new() or default() You will need to manually initialize the config system.
