46 C4::Boolean - Convenience functions to handle boolean values
47 in the parameter table
55 In the parameter table, there are various Boolean values that
56 variously require a 0/1, no/yes, false/true, or off/on values.
57 This module aims to provide scripts a means to interpret these
58 Boolean values in a consistent way which makes common sense.
