+=head1 NAME
+
+Dpkg::Interface::Storable - common methods related to object serialization
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Dpkg::Interface::Storable is only meant to be used as parent
+class for other objects. It provides common methods that are
+all implemented on top of two basic methods parse() and output().
+
+=head1 BASE METHODS
+
+Those methods must be provided by the object that wish to inherit
+from Dpkg::Interface::Storable so that the methods provided can work.
+
+=over 4
+
+=item $obj->parse($fh[, $desc])
+
+This methods initialize the object with the data stored in the
+filehandle. $desc is optional and is a textual description of
+the filehandle used in error messages.
+
+=item $string = $obj->output([$fh])
+
+This method returns a string representation of the object in $string
+and it writes the same string to $fh (if it's defined).
+
+=back
+
+=head1 PROVIDED METHODS
+
+=over 4
+
+=item $obj->load($filename, %opts)
+
+Initialize the object with the data stored in the file. The file can be
+compressed, it will be decompressed on the fly by using a
+Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle object. If $opts{compression} is false the
+decompression support will be disabled. If $filename is "-", then the
+standard input is read (no compression is allowed in that case).

+ }
+ return $res;
+}
+
+=item $obj->save($filename, %opts)
+
+Store the object in the file. If the filename ends with a known
+compression extension, it will be compressed on the fly by using a
+Dpkg::Compression::FileHandle object. If $opts{compression} is false the
+compression support will be disabled. If $filename is "-", then the
+standard output is used (data are written uncompressed in that case).

+=head1 CHANGES
+
+=head2 Version 1.01 (dpkg 1.19.0)
+
+New options: The $obj->load() and $obj->save() methods support a new
+compression option.
+
+=head2 Version 1.00 (dpkg 1.15.6)
+
+Mark the module as public.
