NAME

 Software::Packager::Object::Aix

SYNOPSIS

 use Software::Packager::Object::Aix

DESCRIPTION

 This module is extends Software::Packager::Object and adds extra methods for
 use by the AIX software packager.

FUNCTIONS

lpp_type()

 The LPP type for objects determines the type of LPP package created.
 If the objects destination is under /usr/share then the object is of type SHARE
 If the objects destination is under /usr then the object has a type of USER
 If the objects destination is under any other directory then the object has a
 type of ROOT+USER.

 Note: when using the methods
 lpp_type_is_share()
 lpp_type_is_user()
 lpp_type_is_root()
 If the lpp_type_is_share() returns true then both lpp_type_is_user() and
 lpp_type_is_root() will also return true.
 Also if lpp_type_is_user() returns true then lpp_type_is_root() will also
 return true.
 So when calling these method do something like...

 foreach my $object ($self->get_object_list())
 {
        $share++ and next if $object->lpp_type_is_share();
        $user++ and next if $object->lpp_type_is_user();
        $root++ and next if $object->lpp_type_is_root();
 }

lpp_type_is_share()

 $share++ if $object->lpp_type_is_share();

 Returns the true if the LPP is SHARE otherwise it returns undef.

lpp_type_is_user()

 $share++ if $object->lpp_type_is_user();

 Returns the true if the LPP is USER otherwise it returns undef.

lpp_type_is_root()

 $share++ if $object->lpp_type_is_root();

 Returns the true if the LPP is ROOT+USER otherwise it returns undef.
