# NAME

Bugzilla::Attachment - Bugzilla attachment class.

# SYNOPSIS

      use Bugzilla::Attachment;

      # Get the attachment with the given ID.
      my $attachment = new Bugzilla::Attachment($attach_id);

      # Get the attachments with the given IDs.
      my $attachments = Bugzilla::Attachment->new_from_list($attach_ids);

# DESCRIPTION

Attachment.pm represents an attachment object. It is an implementation of Bugzilla::Object, and thus provides all methods that Bugzilla::Object provides.

The methods that are specific to `Bugzilla::Attachment` are listed below.

## Instance Properties

`bug_id`

  the ID of the bug to which the attachment is attached

`bug`

  the bug object to which the attachment is attached

`description`

  user-provided text describing the attachment

`contenttype`

  the attachment's MIME media type

`attacher`

  the user who attached the attachment

`attached`

  the date and time on which the attacher attached the attachment

`modification_time`

  the date and time on which the attachment was last modified.

`filename`

  the name of the file the attacher attached

`ispatch`

  whether or not the attachment is a patch

`isurl`

  whether or not the attachment is a URL

`isobsolete`

  whether or not the attachment is obsolete

`isprivate`

  whether or not the attachment is private

`is_viewable`

  Returns 1 if the attachment has a content-type viewable in this browser. Note that we don't use $cgi->Accept()'s ability to check if a content-type matches, because this will return a value even if it's matched by the generic */* which most browsers add to the end of their Accept: headers.

`data`

  the content of the attachment

`datasize`

  the length (in characters) of the attachment content

`flags`

  flags that have been set on the attachment

`flag_types`

  Return all flag types available for this attachment as well as flags already set, grouped by flag type.
