NAME

Biber::Section - Biber::Section objects

new

    Initialize a Biber::Section object

citecount

set_citecount

    Set the citecount of a key. This comes from biblatex via the
    citecounter option and reflects the actual number of citations using
    this key, taking into account things like \citeauthor etc. which are not
    real citations.

get_keycount

    Get the citecount of a key. This comes from biblatex via the
    citecounter option and reflects the actual number of citations using
    this key, taking into account things like \citeauthor etc. which are not
    real citations. A zero or undef value needs to be less than 0 which does
    not fail if() checks - required for the delicate sorting dispatch logic

seenkey

get_seenkey

    Get the count of a key

incr_seenkey

    Increment the seen count of a key

reset_caches

    Reset section caches which need it

set_np_length

  Check and record max namepart length. Needed to construct sort keys for names

get_np_length

  Return max namepart length. Needed to construct sort keys for names

set_set_pc

  Record a parent->child set relationship

set_set_cp

  Record a child->parent set relationship

get_set_pc

  Return a boolean saying if there is a parent->child set relationship

get_set_cp

  Return a boolean saying if there is a child->parent set relationship

get_set_children

  Return a list of children for a parent set

get_set_parents

  Return a list of parents for a child of a set

set_keytods

  Save information about citekey->datasource name mapping. Used for error reporting.

get_keytods

  Get information about citekey->datasource name mapping. Used for error reporting.

has_badcasekey

    Returns a value to say if we've seen a key differing only in case before
    <previouskey>  - we've seen a differently cased variant of this key so we can warn about this
    undef  - Not seen this key at all in any case variant before

is_specificcitekey

    Check if a key is specifically cited by \cite{key} or \nocite{key}
    Record that a key is used as a related entry
    Check if a key is used as a related entry key

keytorelclone

    Record a key<->clone key mapping.

get_keytorelclone

    Fetch a related entry clone key, given a cite key

get_relclonetokey

    Fetch a related entry key, given a clone key

has_keytorelclone

    Return boolean saying if a cite key has a related entry clone in the current section

has_relclonetokey

    Return boolean saying if a related clone key has a citekey in the current section

add_cite

    Adds a key to the list of those that came via \cite

is_cite

    Returns a boolean to say if a key came via \cite

add_nocite

    Adds a key to the list of those that came via \nocite

is_nocite

    Returns a boolean to say if a key came via \nocite

add_everykey

    Adds a datasource key to the section list of all datasource keys

del_everykeys

  Delete everykey cache. For use in tests.

has_everykey

    Returns a boolean to say if we've seen a key in any datasource for this section.
    This used to be an array ref which was checked using first() and it
    was twenty times slower.

set_allkeys_nocite

    Sets flag to say citekey '*' occurred through \nocite
    We allow setting it to false too because it's useful in tests

set_allkeys

    Sets flag to say citekey '*' occurred in citekeys
    We allow setting it to false too because it's useful in tests

is_allkeys_nocite

    Checks flag which says citekey '*' occurred in via \nocite

is_allkeys

    Checks flag which says citekey '*' occurred in citekeys

bibentry

    Returns a Biber::Entry object for the given citation key
    Understands citekey aliases

bibentries

    Return Biber::Entries object for this section

del_bibentries

    Delete all Biber::Entry objects from the Biber::Section object

set_citekeys

    Sets the citekeys in a Biber::Section object

set_orig_order_citekeys

    Sets the original order of citekeys in a Biber::Section object

get_citekeys

    Gets the citekeys of a Biber::Section object
    Returns a normal array

get_static_citekeys

    Gets the citekeys of a Biber::Section object
    excluding dynamic set entry keys
    Returns a normal array

has_cited_citekey

    Returns true when $key was one of the actually cited keys in the section

add_undef_citekey

    Adds a citekey to the Biber::Section object as an undefined
    key. This allows us to output this information to the .bbl and
    so biblatex can do better reporting to external utils like latexmk

get_undef_citekeys

    Gets the list of undefined citekeys of a Biber::Section object
    Returns a normal array

get_orig_order_citekeys

    Gets the citekeys of a Biber::Section object in their original order
    This is just to ensure we have a method that will return this, just in
    case we mess about with the order at some point. This is needed by
    citeorder sorting.

has_citekey

    Returns true when $key is in the Biber::Section object
    Understands key alaises

del_citekey

    Deletes a citekey from a Biber::Section object

del_citekeys

    Deletes all citekeys from a Biber::Section object

add_citekeys

    Adds citekeys to the Biber::Section object

set_citekey_alias

    Set citekey alias information

get_citekey_alias

    Get citekey alias information

del_citekey_alias

    Delete citekey alias

get_citekey_aliases

    Get a list of all citekey aliases for the section

set_labelcache_v

    Sets the variable label disambiguation cache for a field

get_labelcache_v

    Gets the variable label disambiguation cache for a field

set_labelcache_l

    Sets the list label disambiguation cache for a field

get_labelcache_l

    Gets the list label disambiguation cache for a field

is_dynamic_set

    Test if a key is a dynamic set

set_dynamic_set

    Record a mapping of dynamic key to member keys

get_dynamic_set

    Retrieve member keys for a dynamic set key
    Check that reference returning anything to stop spurious warnings
    about empty dereference in return.

dynamic_set_keys

    Retrieve all dynamic set keys

has_dynamic_sets

    Returns true of false depending on whether the section has any dynamic set keys

add_datasource

    Adds a data source to a section

set_datasources

    Sets the data sources for a section

get_datasources

    Gets an array of data sources for this section

number

    Gets the section number of a Biber::Section object
