NAME

Netscape::Bookmarks::Alias - object for an Alias in a Netscape Bookmarks file

SYNOPSIS

        use Netscape::Bookmarks;
        use Netscape::Bookmarks::Alias;

        my $bookmarks = Netscape::Bookmarks->new();

        my $alias = Netscape::Bookmarks::Alias->new();

        $bookmarks->add( $alias );
        # ... and other Netscape::Bookmark::Category methods

DESCRIPTION

This module provides an abstraction for an Alias object in a Netscape Bookmarks file. An alias is simply a reference to another link in the Bookmarks file, henceforth called the target. If you change the alias, the target link also changes.

Methods

new( ALIASID )
$obj->alias_of(): Returns the alias key for this alias
$obj->target( ALIAS_KEY ): Returns the target Link of the given alias key. The return value is a Netscape::Bookmarks::Link object if the target exists, or undef in scalar context or the empty list in list context if the target does not exist. If you want to simply check to see if a target exists, use target_exists.
add_target( $link_obj, ALIAS_KEY ): Adds a target link for the given ALIAS_KEY. You can add target links before the Alias is created.
target_exists( TARGET_KEY ): For the given target key returns TRUE or FALSE if the target exists.

If, for some reason, I disappear from the world, one of the other members of the project can shepherd this module appropriately.
