One arguement is taken and that is a hash value.

If this it fails, $zbg->{perror} is set and the other methods will always error as a permanent error has been set.

hash values

zconf

If this key is defined, this hash will be passed to ZConf->new().

my $zbg=ZConf::Runner->new();
if($zbg->{error}){
    print "Error!\n";
}

addToLast

This adds an item to the history.

args hash

hostname

This specifies the hostname to use. If this is not defined, the hostname of the machine it is currently running on will be used.

This is the X display the BG was set on. If it is not set, the enviromental variable 'DISPLAY' is used.

filltype

This is the fill type that was used.

image

This is the image the background was set to.

$zbg->addToLast({image=>'/tmp/something.jpg', filltype=>'full'});
if($zbg->{error}){
    print "Error!\n";
}

createPath

This creates a path. If a path already exists, it will error.

Two arguements are required. The first is the name of the path and the second is a array containing the various paths.

if($zbg->{error}){
    print "Error!\n";

my $path=$zbg->getDefaultPath;
if($zbg->{error}){
    print "Error!\n";
}

getLast

This fetches information on the last file set.

It also does not have to be checked for errors as it will never set an error.

No arguements are taken.

my %last=$zbg->getLast;
if(!defined($last{file})){
    print "No previous last.\n";
}else{
    print 'file: '.$last{file}."\n".
          'filltype: '.$last{filltype}."\n".
          'display: '.$last{display}."\n".
          'hostname: '.$last{hostname}."\n";
}

getLastRaw

Gets the last variable in it's raw form.

No arguements are taken.

It also does not have to be checked for errors as it will never set an error.

For a description of it's formatting, please see

my $rawlast=$zbg->getLastRaw();
print $rawlast;

getPath

This fetches a specified path.

my $image='/tmp/something.jpg';
$image=~s/(["`\$\\ ])/\\$1/g;
$image=~qq($image);

#replaces %%%THEFILE%%% in the setter with the filename
$setterr=~s/\%\%\%THEFILE\%\%\%/$image/g;

init

This initializes it or a new set.

If the specified set already exists, it will be reset.

One arguement is required and it is the name of the set. If it is not defined, ZConf will use the default one.

fill=hsetroot -fill %%%THEFILE%%%

full
