NAME

Bugzilla::Attachment - a file related to a bug that a user has uploaded to the Bugzilla server

SYNOPSIS

  use Bugzilla::Attachment;

  # Get the attachment with the given ID.
  my $attachment = Bugzilla::Attachment->get($attach_id);

  # Get the attachments with the given IDs.
  my $attachments = Bugzilla::Attachment->get_list($attach_ids);

DESCRIPTION

This module defines attachment objects, which represent files related to bugs that users upload to the Bugzilla server.

Instance Properties

id: the unique identifier for the attachment

bug_id: the ID of the bug to which the attachment is attached

description: user-provided text describing the attachment

contenttype: the attachment's MIME media type

attacher: the user who attached the attachment

attached: the date and time on which the attacher attached the attachment

modification_time: the date and time on which the attachment was last modified.

filename: the name of the file the attacher attached

ispatch: whether or not the attachment is a patch

isurl: whether or not the attachment is a URL

isobsolete: whether or not the attachment is obsolete

isprivate: whether or not the attachment is private

is_viewable: Returns 1 if the attachment has a content-type viewable in this browser. Note that we don't use $cgi->Accept()'s ability to check if a content-type matches, because this will return a value even if it's matched by the generic */* which most browsers add to the end of their Accept: headers.

data: the content of the attachment

datasize: the length (in characters) of the attachment content

flags: flags that have been set on the attachment
