NAME
AppConfig::Sys - Perl5 module defining platform-specific information and methods for other
AppConfig::* modules.
SYNOPSIS
use AppConfig::Sys;
my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();
@fields = $sys->getpwuid($userid);
@fields = $sys->getpwnam($username);
OVERVIEW
AppConfig::Sys is a Perl5 module provides platform-specific information and operations as
required by other AppConfig::* modules.
AppConfig::Sys is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.
DESCRIPTION
USING THE AppConfig::Sys MODULE
To import and use the AppConfig::Sys module the following line should appear in your Perl
script:
use AppConfig::Sys;
AppConfig::Sys is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::Sys object
is created and initialised using the AppConfig::Sys->new() method. This returns a
reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object.
my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();
This will attempt to detect your operating system and create a reference to a new
AppConfig::Sys object that is applicable to your platform. You may explicitly specify an
operating system name to override this automatic detection:
$unix_sys = AppConfig::Sys->new("Unix");
Alternatively, the package variable $AppConfig::Sys::OS can be set to an operating system
name. The valid operating system names are: Win32, VMS, Mac, OS2 and Unix. They are not
case-specific.
AppConfig::Sys METHODS
AppConfig::Sys defines the following methods:
getpwnam()
Calls the system function getpwnam() if available and returns the result. Returns
undef if not available. The can_getpwnam() method can be called to determine if this
function is available.
getpwuid()
Calls the system function getpwuid() if available and returns the result. Returns
undef if not available. The can_getpwuid() method can be called to determine if this
function is available.
