Didn't find any ref in the docs, so I downloaded the package source
(with a tip o' the hat to the "video driver/free software" thread,
esp. to Doug there: hi, Doug :-)
There is this function StringToBool in apt-pkg/contrib/strutl.cc:
| // StringToBool - Converts a string into a boolean
/*{{{*/
| // ---------------------------------------------------------------------
| /* This inspects the string to see if it is true or if it is false and
| then returns the result. Several varients on true/false are checked. */
| int StringToBool(const string &Text,int Default)
| {
| char *ParseEnd;
| int Res = strtol(Text.c_str(),&ParseEnd,0);
| // ensure that the entire string was converted by strtol to avoid
| // failures on "apt-cache show -a 0ad" where the "0" is converted
| const char *TextEnd = Text.c_str()+Text.size();
| if (ParseEnd == TextEnd && Res >= 0 && Res <= 1)
| return Res;
|
| // Check for positives
| if (strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"no") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"false") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"without") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"off") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"disable") == 0)
| return 0;
|
| // Check for negatives
| if (strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"yes") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"true") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"with") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"on") == 0 ||
| strcasecmp(Text.c_str(),"enable") == 0)
| return 1;
|
| return Default;
That seems to be it: no/false/without/off/disable versus
yes/true/with/on/enable.
Should that be in the docs?
Cheers
