NAME
       OpenBSD::Mtree - simple mtree(8) spec parser

SYNOPSIS
           use OpenBSD::Mtree;

           my %hier;

           OpenBSD::Mtree::parse(\%hier, "/", "/etc/mtree/4.4BSD.dist");

DESCRIPTION
       "OpenBSD::Mtree" is a parser for mtree(8) specifications
       that can reconstruct directory hierarchies.

       The basic function "OpenBSD::Mtree::parse_fh(\%hash,
       $basedir, $fh)" will populate the hash $hash with defined
       entries for each directory seen while reading from $fh,
       assuming the specification is to be interpreted relative
       to $basedir (some canonicalization of directory names will
       occur).

       "OpenBSD::Mtree:parse(\%hash, $basedir, $filename)" is a
       convenience function which also handles opening the
       filehandle from $filename and closing it after reading the
       specification.
