498 | |
499 | =head2 Creation |
500 | |
501 | A new dumper is created by a call |
502 | |
503 | $d = new Dumpvalue(option1 => value1, option2 => value2) |
504 | |
505 | Recognized options: |

510 | |
511 | Print only first N elements of arrays and hashes. If false, prints all the |
512 | elements. |
513 | |
514 | =item C<compactDump>, C<veryCompact> |

517 | may be printed on one line. |
518 | |
519 | =item C<globPrint> |
520 | |
521 | Whether to print contents of globs. |
522 | |
8f90a6c7 |
523 | =item C<dumpDBFiles> |
230a5be7 |
524 | |
525 | Dump arrays holding contents of debugged files. |

536 | |
537 | Change style of string dump. Default value of C<tick> is C<auto>, one |
538 | can enable either double-quotish dump, or single-quotish by setting it |
539 | to C<"> or C<'>. By default, characters with high bit set are printed |
8f90a6c7 |
540 | I<as is>. If C<quoteHighBit> is set, they will be quoted. |
230a5be7 |
541 | |
8f90a6c7 |
542 | =item C<usageOnly> |
230a5be7 |
543 | |
8f90a6c7 |
544 | rudimentally per-package memory usage dump. If set, |
230a5be7 |
545 | C<dumpvars> calculates total size of strings in variables in the package. |
546 | |
547 | =item unctrl |
548 | |
549 | Changes the style of printout of strings. Possible values are |
550 | C<unctrl> and C<quote>. |

577 | =item dumpValue |
578 | |
579 | $dumper->dumpValue($value); |
580 | $dumper->dumpValue([$value1, $value2]); |
581 | |
c80d22cf |
582 | Prints a dump to the currently selected filehandle. |
583 | |
230a5be7 |
584 | =item dumpValues |
585 | |
586 | $dumper->dumpValues($value1, $value2); |
587 | |
c80d22cf |
588 | Same as C< $dumper->dumpValue([$value1, $value2]); >. |
589 | |
590 | =item stringify |
591 | |
592 | my $dump = $dumper->stringify($value [,$noticks] ); |
593 | |
594 | Returns the dump of a single scalar without printing. If the second |
595 | argument is true, the return value does not contain enclosing ticks. |
596 | Does not handle data structures. |
597 | |
230a5be7 |
598 | =item dumpvars |
599 | |
600 | $dumper->dumpvars('my_package'); |
601 | $dumper->dumpvars('my_package', 'foo', '~bar$', '!......'); |
602 | |
603 | The optional arguments are considered as literal strings unless they |
604 | start with C<~> or C<!>, in which case they are interpreted as regular |
605 | expressions (possibly negated). |
606 | |
607 | The second example prints entries with names C<foo>, and also entries |
608 | with names which ends on C<bar>, or are shorter than 5 chars. |
609 | |
610 | =item set_quote |
611 | |
612 | $d->set_quote('"'); |
613 | |
614 | Sets C<tick> and C<unctrl> options to suitable values for printout with the |
615 | given quote char. Possible values are C<auto>, C<'> and C<">. |
616 | |
617 | =item set_unctrl |
618 | |
619 | $d->set_unctrl('"'); |
620 | |
621 | Sets C<unctrl> option with checking for an invalid argument. |
622 | Possible values are C<unctrl> and C<quote>. |
623 | |
624 | =item compactDump |
625 | |
626 | $d->compactDump(1); |
627 | |
628 | Sets C<compactDump> option. If the value is 1, sets to a reasonable |
629 | big number. |
630 | |
631 | =item veryCompact |
632 | |
633 | $d->veryCompact(1); |
634 | |
635 | Sets C<compactDump> and C<veryCompact> options simultaneously. |
636 | |
637 | =item set |
638 | |
639 | $d->set(option1 => value1, option2 => value2); |
