NAME

Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Directory - Plugin to extract a downloaded directory to a build directory

VERSION

version 1.67

SYNOPSIS

 use alienfile;
 plugin 'Extract::Directory';

DESCRIPTION

Some Download or Fetch plugins may produce a directory instead of an archive file. This plugin is used to mirror the directory from the Download step into a fresh directory in the Extract step. An example of when you might use this plugin is if you were using the "git" command in the Download step, which results in a directory hierarchy.

PROPERTIES

format

Should always set to "d" (for directories).

METHODS

handles

 Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Directory->handles($ext);
 $plugin->handles($ext);

Returns true if the plugin is able to handle the archive of the given format. Only returns true for "d" (for directory).

available

 Alien::Build::Plugin::Extract::Directory->available($ext);
 $plugin->available($ext);

Returns true if the plugin can extract the given format with what is already installed.
