# Lintian::ProcessablePool(3)

## NAME

Lintian::ProcessablePool -- Pool of processables

## SYNOPSIS

```
 use Lintian::ProcessablePool;

 my $pool = Lintian::ProcessablePool->new;
 $pool->add_file('foo.changes');
 $pool->add_file('bar.dsc');
 $pool->add_file('baz.deb');
 $pool->add_file('qux.buildinfo');

## METHODS

- Lintian::ProcessablePool-\>new (\[LAB\])

  Creates a new empty pool.

  If LAB is given, it is assumed to be a Lintian::Lab.  In this case, any processable added to this pool will be stored as a lab entry from LAB.

- $pool-\>add\_file($file)

  Adds a file to the pool.  The `$file` will be turned into a processable and grouped together with other processables from the same source package (if any).

- $pool-\>add\_proc ($proc)

  Adds a processable to the pool.

- $pool-\>get\_group\_names

  Returns the name of all the groups in this pool.

  Do not modify the list nor its contents.

- $pool-\>get\_group($name)

  Returns the group called `$name` or `"undef"` if there is no group called `$name`.

- $pool-\>get\_groups

  Returns all the groups in the pool.

  Do not modify the list nor its contents.

- $pool-\>empty

  Returns true if the pool is empty.
