=head1 NAME
Devel::CheckOS - check what OS we're running on
=head1 DESCRIPTION
A learned sage once wrote on IRC:
$^O is stupid and ugly, it wears its pants as a hat
Devel::CheckOS provides a more friendly interface to $^O, and also lets
you check for various OS "families" such as "Unix", which includes things
like Linux, Solaris, AIX etc.
It spares perl the embarrassment of wearing its pants on its head by
covering them with a splendid Fedora.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Devel::CheckOS qw(os_is);
print "Hey, I know this, it's a Unix system\n" if(os_is('Unix'));
print "You've got Linux 2.6\n" if(os_is('Linux::v2_6'));
=head1 USING IT IN Makefile.PL or Build.PL
If you want to use this from Makefile.PL or Build.PL, do
not simply copy the module into your distribution as this may cause
problems when PAUSE and search.cpan.org index the distro. Instead, use
the use-devel-assertos script.
=head1 FUNCTIONS
Devel::CheckOS implements the following functions, which load subsidiary
OS-specific modules on demand to do the real work. They can all be exported
by listing their names after C<use Devel::CheckOS>. You can also export
groups of functions thus:
use Devel::CheckOS qw(:booleans); # export the boolean functions
# and 'die_unsupported'
use Devel::CheckOS qw(:fatal); # export those that die on no match
use Devel::CheckOS qw(:all); # export everything exportable
=head2 Boolean functions
=head3 os_is
Takes a list of OS names. If the current platform matches any of them,
it returns true, otherwise it returns false. The names can be a mixture
of OSes and OS families, eg ...
os_is(qw(Unix VMS)); # Unix is a family, VMS is an OS
Matching is case-insensitive provided that Taint-mode is not enabled, so the
above could also be written:
os_is(qw(unix vms));
=cut
sub os_is {
my @targets = @_;
my $rval = 0;
TARGET: foreach my $target (@targets) {
# resolve aliases
ALIAS: foreach my $alias (keys %OS_ALIASES) {
if($target =~ /^$alias$/i) {
$target = $OS_ALIASES{$alias};
last ALIAS;
}
}
# resolve case-insensitive names (no-op in taint-mode as list_platforms
# won't work)
my @available_platforms = list_platforms();
CANDIDATE: foreach my $candidate (@available_platforms) {
if($target =~ /^\Q$candidate\E$/i) {
$target = $candidate;
last CANDIDATE;
}
}
die("Devel::CheckOS: $target isn't a legal OS name\n")
unless($target =~ /^\w+(::\w+)*$/);
eval "use Devel::AssertOS::$target";
if(!$@) {
no strict 'refs';
$rval = 1 if(&{"Devel::AssertOS::${target}::os_is"}());
}
}
return $rval;
}
=head3 os_isnt
If the current platform matches (case-insensitively) any of the parameters it
returns false, otherwise it returns true.
=cut
sub os_isnt {
my @targets = @_;
my $rval = 1;
foreach my $target (@targets) {
$rval = 0 if(os_is($target));
}
return $rval;
}
=head2 Fatal functions
=head3 die_if_os_isnt
As C<os_is()>, except that it dies instead of returning false. The die()
message matches what the CPAN-testers look for to determine if a module
doesn't support a particular platform.
=cut
sub die_if_os_isnt {
os_is(@_) ? 1 : die_unsupported();
}
=head3 die_if_os_is
As C<os_isnt()>, except that it dies instead of returning false.
=cut
sub die_if_os_is {
os_isnt(@_) ? 1 : die_unsupported();
}
=head2 And some utility functions ...
=head3 die_unsupported
This function simply dies with the message "OS unsupported", which is what
the CPAN testers look for to figure out whether a platform is supported or
not.
=cut
sub die_unsupported { die("OS unsupported\n"); }
=head3 list_platforms
When called in list context,
return a list of all the platforms for which the corresponding
Devel::AssertOS::* module is available. This includes both OSes and OS
families, and both those bundled with this module and any third-party
add-ons you have installed.
In scalar context, returns a hashref keyed by platform with the filename
of the most recent version of the supporting module that is available to you.
This behaviour is deprecated.
Unfortunately, on some platforms this list may have file case
broken. eg, some platforms might return 'freebsd' instead of 'FreeBSD'.
This is because they have case-insensitive filesystems so things
should Just Work anyway.
This function does not work in taint-mode.

return \%modules;
}
}
=head3 list_family_members
Takes the name of an OS 'family' and returns a list of all its members.
In list context, you get a list, in scalar context you get an arrayref.
If called on something that isn't a family, you get an empty list (or
a ref to an empty array).
=cut
sub list_family_members {
my $family = shift() ||
die(__PACKAGE__."::list_family_members needs a parameter\n");
# this will die if it's the wrong OS, but the module is loaded ...

return \@members;
}
}
=head3 register_alias
It takes two arguments, the first being an alias name, the second being the
name of an OS. After the alias has been registered, any queries about the
alias will return the appropriate result for the named OS.
It returns true unless you invoke it incorrectly or you attempt to change
an existing alias.
Aliases don't work under taint-mode.
See L<Devel::AssertOS::Extending>.
=cut
sub register_alias {
my($alias, $os) = @_;
($alias && $os) || return 0;
if(!exists($OS_ALIASES{$alias}) || $OS_ALIASES{$alias} eq $os) {
return $OS_ALIASES{$alias} = $os;
} else {
return 0
}
}
=head1 PLATFORMS SUPPORTED
To see the list of platforms for which information is available, run this:
perl -MDevel::CheckOS -e 'print join(", ", Devel::CheckOS::list_platforms())'
These are the names of the underlying Devel::AssertOS::* modules
which do the actual platform detection, so they have to
be 'legal' filenames and module names, which unfortunately precludes
funny characters, so platforms like OS/2 are mis-spelt deliberately.
Sorry.
Also be aware that not all of them have been properly tested. I don't
have access to most of them and have had to work from information
gleaned from L<perlport> and a few other places. For a complete list of
OS families, see L<Devel::CheckOS::Families>.
If you want to add your own OSes or families, see L<Devel::AssertOS::Extending>
and please feel free to upload the results to the CPAN.
=head1 BUGS and FEEDBACK
I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism.
Bug reports should be made using L<https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Devel-CheckOS/issues>.
You will need to include in your bug report the exact value of $^O, what
the OS is called (eg Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate Home Edition), and,
if relevant, what "OS family" it should be in and who wrote it.
If you are feeling particularly generous you can encourage me in my
open source endeavours by buying me something from my wishlist:
L<http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/wishlist/>
=head1 COMPATIBILITY
Version 1.90 made all matches case-insensitive. This is a change in behaviour, but
if it breaks your code then your code was already broken, you just didn't know it.
=head1 DEPRECATIONS
At some point after April 2024 the C<list_family_members> and C<list_platforms>
functions will stop being sensitive to whether they are called in list context or
not, and will always return a list. From now until then calling them in non-list
context will emit a warning. You can turn that off by setting
C<$Devel::CheckOS::NoDeprecationWarnings::Context> to a true value.
