NAME
Perl::osnames - List possible $^O ($OSNAME) values, with description
VERSION
This document describes version 0.122 of Perl::osnames (from Perl distribution Perl-osnames), released on 2020-02-13.
DESCRIPTION
This package contains
$data
which lists possible values of$^O
along with description for each. It also provides some helper functions.Tags
unix
Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.
bsd
BSD-derived Unix operating systems.
sysv
SysV-derived Unix operating systems.
posix
For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully-, mostly-, and largely-compliant ones (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX).
From what I can gather, dec_osf is not POSIX compliant, although there is a posix package for it.
VARIABLES
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
$data
An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:
[$name, \@tags, $description]
$RE_OS_IS_KNOWN
Current value:

FUNCTIONS
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
is_posix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether
$os
(defaults to$^O
if not specified) is POSIX (checked by the existence ofposix
tag on the OS's record in$data
). Will return 0, 1, or undef if$os
is unknown.is_unix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether
$os
(defaults to$^O
if not specified) is Unix (checked by the existence ofunix
tag on the OS's record in$data
). Will return 0, 1, or undef if$os
is unknown.HOMEPAGE

SEE ALSO
Perl::OSType, a core module. You should probably use this module instead. Currently the difference between this module and Perl::osnames: 1) Perl::osnames currently doesn't list beos/haiku as Unix, but POSIX; 2) Perl::osnames provides more tags (like sysv, bsd, posix) and description.
The output of
perl -V
App::osnames, the original reason for Perl::osnames. With this CLI tool you can grep OS names by name, tag, or description, e.g.
osnames solaris
orosnames posix
