System::Info::Base - Baseclass for system information.
Return a new instance for $^O
This method should be overridden by platform specific subclasses.
The generic information is taken from POSIX::uname().
POSIX::uname()
Returns $self->_os
Returns $self->_hostname
Returns $self->_cpu_type
Returns $self->_cpu
Returns $self->_cpu_count
Returns $self->get_cpu_count as a number
If get_cpu_count returns 2 [8 cores], get_core_count returns 8
get_cpu_count
2 [8 cores]
get_core_count
8
Returns the name of the distribution.
This class gathers most of the uname(1) info, make a comparable version. Takes almost the same arguments:
uname(1)
a for all (can be omitted) n for nodename s for os name and version m for cpu name c for cpu count p for cpu_type
Just a backward compatible way to dump the object (for test suite).
