Test::AutoBuild::PlatfUser3Contributed Perl DocumeTest::AutoBuild::Platform(3)NAMETest::AutoBuild::Platform - represents a build host's environment
SYNOPSIS
use Test::AutoBuild::Platform;
# Create a new platform based on the host machine's native
# environment
my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host");
# Or create a platform describing a chroot environment which
# has a differing OS, but same architecture
my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
label => "Fedora Core 3");
# Or create a platform describing an emulated OS
my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
label => "Free BSD",
operating_system => "bsd",
architecture => "x86_64");
# Create a platform describing the host, with some 'interesting'
# extra metadata about the toolchain
my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
options => {
'compiler.cc' => "GCC 3.2.3",
'compiler.c++' => "G++ 3.2.3",
'linker' => "GNU LD 2.15",
});
METHODS
my $stage = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => $name, [label =>
$label,]); [architecture => $arch,]); [operating_system => $os,]
[options => \%options]);
Creates a new platform object describing a build root environment.
The "name" parameter is a short tag for the platform. The optional
"label" parameter is a free text descriptive title for the
platform, typically the OS distribution name. If omitted, the
first line of /etc/issue will be used. The "architecture" parameter
is the formal machine architecture, defaulting to the 'machine'
field from the uname(2) system call. The "operating_system"
parameter is the formal operating system name, defaulting to the
'sysname' field from the uname(2) system call. The optional
"options" parameter is a hash reference containing arbitrary
deployment specific metadata about the platform.
$value = $platform->option($name[, $newvalue]);
Retrieves a custom option describing a custom aspect of the build
host platform, identified as interesting by the administrator. If
the $newvalue parameter is supplied, then the configuration option
is updated.
my @names = $platform->options;
Return a list of all custom options set against this platform. The
names returned can be used in calling the "option" method to lookup
a value.
