=head1 NAME

Devel::CheckOS - check what OS we're running on

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A learned sage once wrote on IRC:

   $^O is stupid and ugly, it wears its pants as a hat

Devel::CheckOS provides a more friendly interface to $^O, and also lets
you check for various OS "families" such as "Unix", which includes things
like Linux, Solaris, AIX etc.

It spares perl the embarrassment of wearing its pants on its head by
covering them with a splendid Fedora.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Devel::CheckOS qw(os_is);
    print "Hey, I know this, it's a Unix system\n" if(os_is('Unix'));

    print "You've got Linux 2.6\n" if(os_is('Linux::v2_6'));

=head1 USING IT IN Makefile.PL or Build.PL

If you want to use this from Makefile.PL or Build.PL, do
not simply copy the module into your distribution as this may cause
problems when PAUSE and search.cpan.org index the distro.  Instead, use
the use-devel-assertos script.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

Devel::CheckOS implements the following functions, which load subsidiary
OS-specific modules on demand to do the real work.  They can be exported
by listing their names after C<use Devel::CheckOS>.  You can also export
groups of functions thus:

    use Devel::CheckOS qw(:booleans); # export the boolean functions
                                      # and 'die_unsupported'
    
    use Devel::CheckOS qw(:fatal);    # export those that die on no match

    use Devel::CheckOS qw(:all);      # export everything

=head2 Boolean functions

=head3 os_is

Takes a list of OS names.  If the current platform matches any of them,
it returns true, otherwise it returns false.  The names can be a mixture
of OSes and OS families, eg ...

    os_is(qw(Unix VMS)); # Unix is a family, VMS is an OS

=cut

sub os_is {
    my @targets = @_;
    my $rval = 0;
    foreach my $target (@targets) {
        die("Devel::CheckOS: $target isn't a legal OS name\n")
            unless($target =~ /^\w+(::\w+)*$/);
        eval "use Devel::AssertOS::$target";
        if(!$@) {
            no strict 'refs';
            $rval = 1 if(&{"Devel::AssertOS::${target}::os_is"}());
        }
    }
    return $rval;
}

=head3 os_isnt

If the current platform matches any of the parameters it returns false,
otherwise it returns true.

=cut

sub os_isnt {
    my @targets = @_;
    my $rval = 1;
    foreach my $target (@targets) {
        $rval = 0 if(os_is($target));
    }
    return $rval;
}

=head2 Fatal functions

=head3 die_if_os_isnt

As C<os_is()>, except that it dies instead of returning false.  The die()
message matches what the CPAN-testers look for to determine if a module
doesn't support a particular platform.

=cut

sub die_if_os_isnt {
    os_is(@_) ? 1 : die_unsupported();
}

=head3 die_if_os_is

As C<os_isnt()>, except that it dies instead of returning false.

=cut

sub die_if_os_is {
    os_isnt(@_) ? 1 : die_unsupported();
}

=head1 PLATFORMS SUPPORTED

To see the list of platforms for which information is available, run this:

    perl -MDevel::CheckOS -e 'print join(", ", Devel::CheckOS::list_platforms())'

Note that capitalisation is important.  These are the names of the
underlying Devel::AssertOS::* modules
which do the actual platform detection, so they have to
be 'legal' filenames and module names, which unfortunately precludes
funny characters, so platforms like OS/2 are mis-spelt deliberately.
Sorry.

Also be aware that not all of them have been properly tested.  I don't
have access to most of them and have had to work from information
gleaned from L<perlport> and a few other places.  For a complete list of
OS families, see L<Devel::CheckOS::Families>.

If you want to add your own OSes or families, see L<Devel::AssertOS::Extending>
and please feel free to upload the results to the CPAN.

=head1 BUGS and FEEDBACK

I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism.
Bug reports should be made using L<https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Devel-CheckOS/issues>.

You will need to include in your bug report the exact value of $^O, what
the OS is called (eg Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate Home Edition), and,
if relevant, what "OS family" it should be in and who wrote it.

If you are feeling particularly generous you can encourage me in my
open source endeavours by buying me something from my wishlist:

Thanks to David Golden for the name and ideas about the interface, and
to the cpan-testers-discuss mailing list for prompting me to write it
in the first place.

Thanks to Ken Williams, from whose L<Module::Build> I lifted some of the
information about what should be in the Unix family.

Thanks to Billy Abbott for finding some bugs for me on VMS.

Thanks to Matt Kraai for information about QNX.

Thanks to Kenichi Ishigaki and Gabor Szabo for reporting a bug on Windows,
and to the former for providing a patch.

Thanks to Paul Green for some information about VOS.

Thanks to Yanick Champoux for a patch to let Devel::AssertOS support
negative assertions.

Thanks to Brian Fraser for adding Android support.

Thanks to Dale Evans for Debian detection, a bunch of Mac OS X specific version
detection modules, and perl 5.6 support.

Thanks to Graham Knop for fixing a build bug on perl 5.8.
