=head1 NAME

ZoneMinder::ConfigData - ZoneMinder Configuration Data module

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use ZoneMinder::ConfigData;
use ZoneMinder::ConfigData qw(:all);

loadConfigFromDB();
saveConfigToDB();

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The ZoneMinder:ConfigData module contains the master definition of the
ZoneMinder configuration options as well as helper methods. This module is
intended for specialist confguration management and would not normally be
used by end users.

The configuration held in this module, which was previously in zmconfig.pl,
includes the name, default value, description, help text, type and category
for each option, as well as a number of additional fields in a small number
of cases.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item loadConfigFromDB ();

Loads existing configuration from the database (if any) and merges it with
the definitions held in this module. This results in the merging of any new
configuration and the removal of any deprecated configuration while
preserving the existing values of every else.

=item saveConfigToDB ();

Saves configuration held in memory to the database. The act of loading and
saving configuration is a convenient way to ensure that the configuration
held in the database corresponds with the most recent definitions and that
all components are using the same set of configuration.

=back

=head2 EXPORT

None by default.
The :data tag will export the various configuration data structures
The :functions tag will export the helper functions.
The :all tag will export all above symbols.
