SYNOPSIS

        package foo;
        use Meta::Utils::Unix qw();
        my($libname)=Meta::Utils::Unix::file_to_libname();

DESCRIPTION

This is a library to handle small things which are weird on a unix system. The one thing it handles now are the weird thing that if you like with a library "library" the actual file is not library but rather: liblibrary.so.version. Routines are given to make the translations back and forth.

FUNCTIONS

        file_to_libname($)
        libname_to_file($)
        file_to_libname_dir($$)
        TEST($)

FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

file_to_libname($)

This routine receives the name of a file which is supposed to be the name of a library. It checks that it does comply with the standard name for a library ([dire]/lib[name].so.[version]) and if so returns the [name] component.

libname_to_file($)

This method does the opposite of file_to_libname and converts a name given to it to a library name (adds "lib" at the start and ".so" at the end).

file_to_libname_dir($$)

This routine does the same as file_to_libname except it is given the directory that is supposed to prefix the library name.

TEST($)

Test suite for this module.

SUPER CLASSES
