Dpkg::Arch - phpMan

NAME
    Dpkg::Arch - handle architectures

DESCRIPTION
    The Dpkg::Arch module provides functions to handle Debian architectures,
    wildcards, and mapping from and to GNU triplets.

    No symbols are exported by default. The :all tag can be used to import
    all symbols. The :getters, :parsers, :mappers and :operators tags can be
    used to import specific symbol subsets.

FUNCTIONS
    $arch = get_raw_build_arch()
        Get the raw build Debian architecture, without taking into account
        variables from the environment.

    $arch = get_build_arch()
        Get the build Debian architecture, using DEB_BUILD_ARCH from the
        environment if available.

    $arch = get_raw_host_arch()
        Get the raw host Debian architecture, without taking into account
        variables from the environment.

    $arch = get_host_arch()
        Get the host Debian architecture, using DEB_HOST_ARCH from the
        environment if available.

    @arch_list = get_valid_arches()
        Get an array with all currently known Debian architectures.

    $multiarch = gnutriplet_to_multiarch($gnutriplet)
        Map a GNU triplet into a Debian multiarch triplet.

    $multiarch = debarch_to_multiarch($arch)
        Map a Debian architecture into a Debian multiarch triplet.

    $gnutriplet = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch)
        Map a Debian architecture into a GNU triplet.

    $arch = gnutriplet_to_debarch($gnutriplet)
        Map a GNU triplet into a Debian architecture.

    $bool = debarch_eq($arch_a, $arch_b)
        Evaluate the equality of a Debian architecture, by comparing with
        another Debian architecture. No wildcard matching is performed.

    $bool = debarch_is($arch, $arch_wildcard)
        Evaluate the identity of a Debian architecture, by matching with an
        architecture wildcard.

    $bool = debarch_is_wildcard($arch)
        Evaluate whether a Debian architecture is an architecture wildcard.

    $bool = debarch_is_illegal($arch, %options)
        Validate an architecture name.

        If the "positive" option is set to a true value, only positive
        architectures will be accepted, otherwise negated architectures are
        allowed.

    $bool = debarch_is_concerned($arch, @arches)
        Evaluate whether a Debian architecture applies to the list of
        architecture restrictions, as usually found in dependencies inside
        square brackets.

    @array = debarch_list_parse($arch_list, %options)
        Parse an architecture list.

        If the "positive" option is set to a true value, only positive
        architectures will be accepted, otherwise negated architectures are
        allowed.

CHANGES

    New import tags: ":all", ":getters", ":parsers", ":mappers",
    ":operators".
