=head1 NAME
C4::Boolean - Convenience functions to handle boolean values
in the parameter table
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use C4::Boolean;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
In the parameter table, there are various Boolean values that
variously require a 0/1, no/yes, false/true, or off/on values.
This module aims to provide scripts a means to interpret these
Boolean values in a consistent way which makes common sense.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 2
=cut
sub INVALID_BOOLEAN_STRING_EXCEPTION ()
{ 'The given value does not seem to be interpretable as a Boolean value' }
use vars qw( %strings );
%strings = (
'0' => 0, '1' => 1, # C
'-1' => 1, # BASIC
'nil' => 0, 't' => 1, # LISP
'false' => 0, 'true' => 1, # Pascal
'off' => 0, 'on' => 1,
'no' => 0, 'yes' => 1,
'n' => 0, 'y' => 1,
);
=item true_p
if ( C4::Boolean::true_p(C4::Context->preference("insecure")) ) {
...
}
Tries to interpret the passed string as a Boolean value. Returns
the value if the string can be interpreted as such; otherwise an
exception is thrown.
