config($name)
Given a string argument, returns the value of the configuration item by that name, or "undef" if no
such item exists.
feature($name)
Given a string argument, returns the value of the feature by that name, or "undef" if no such feature
exists.
set_config($name, $value)
Sets the configuration item with the given name to the given value. The value may be any Perl scalar
that will serialize correctly using "Data::Dumper". This includes references, objects (usually), and
complex data structures. It probably does not include transient things like filehandles or sockets.
set_feature($name, $value)
Sets the feature with the given name to the given boolean value. The value will be converted to 0 or
1 automatically.
config_names()
Returns a list of all the names of config items currently defined in "GBrowse::ConfigData", or in
scalar context the number of items.
feature_names()
Returns a list of all the names of features currently defined in "GBrowse::ConfigData", or in scalar
context the number of features.
auto_feature_names()
Returns a list of all the names of features whose availability is dynamically determined, or in
scalar context the number of such features. Does not include such features that have later been set
to a fixed value.
write()
Commits any changes from set_config() and set_feature() to disk. Requires write access to the
"GBrowse::ConfigData" module.
