Value

parse_pkg_refs() returns a list of parsed references. parse_pkg_ref() returns one parsed reference. A parsed reference is a list, with at least elements:

• ref: The original reference string.

• type: The reference type.

• package: The package name. It typically contains additional data, specific to the various reference types. See pkg_refs for details. The parsed reference always has class ⁠remote_ref_<type>⁠ and remote_ref.
