Perl::Critic::PolicyPaUsertContributed Perl DoPerl::Critic::PolicyParameter(3)

NAME
       Perl::Critic::PolicyParameter - Metadata	about a	parameter for a
       Policy.

DESCRIPTION
       A provider of validation	and parsing of parameter values	and metadata
       about the parameter.

INTERFACE SUPPORT
       This is considered to be	a public class.	 Any changes to	its interface
       will go through a deprecation cycle.

METHODS
       "get_name()"
	   Return the name of the parameter.  This is the key that will	be
	   looked for in the .perlcriticrc.

       "get_description()"
	   Return an explanation of the	significance of	the parameter, as
	   provided by the developer of	the policy.

       "get_default_string()"
	   Return a representation of the default value	of this	parameter as
	   it would appear if it was specified in a .perlcriticrc file.

       "parse_and_validate_config_value( $parser, $config )"
	   Extract the configuration value for this parameter from the overall
	   configuration and initialize	the policy based upon it.

       "generate_full_description()"
	   Produce a more complete explanation of the significance of this
	   parameter than the value returned by	"get_description()".

	   If no description can be derived, returns the empty string.

	   Note	that the result	may contain multiple lines.

       "to_formatted_string( $format )"
	   Generate a string representation of this parameter, based upon the
	   format.

	   The format is a combination of literal and escape characters
	   similar to the way "sprintf"	works.	If you want to know the
	   specific formatting capabilities, look at String::Format.  Valid
	   escape characters are:

	   %n  The name	of the parameter.

	   %d  The description,	as supplied by the programmer.

	   %D  The default value, in a parsable	form.

	   %f  The full	description, which is an extension of the value
	       returned	by %d.	Takes a	parameter of a prefix for the
	       beginning of each line.
