NAME

6       Test::AutoBuild::Platform - represents a build host's environment
7

SYNOPSIS

9         use Test::AutoBuild::Platform;
10
11         # Create a new platform based on the host machine's native
12         # environment
13         my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host");
14
15         # Or create a platform describing a chroot environment which
16         # has a differing OS, but same architecture
17         my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
18                                                       label => "Fedora Core 3");
19
20         # Or create a platform describing an emulated OS
21         my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
22                                                       label => "Free BSD",
23                                                       operating_system => "bsd",
24                                                       architecture => "x86_64");
25
26         # Create a platform describing the host, with some 'interesting'
27         # extra metadata about the toolchain
28         my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
29                                                       options => {
30                 'compiler.cc' => "GCC 3.2.3",
31                 'compiler.c++' => "G++ 3.2.3",
32                 'linker' => "GNU LD 2.15",
33               });

METHODS

36       my $stage = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => $name, [label =>
37       $label,]); [architecture => $arch,]); [operating_system => $os,]
38       [options => \%options]);
39           Creates a new platform object describing a build root environment.
40           The "name" parameter is a short tag for the platform. The optional
41           "label" parameter is a free text descriptive title for the plat‐
42           form, typically the OS distribution name.  If omitted, the first
43           line of /etc/issue will be used. The "architecture" parameter is
44           the formal machine architecture, defaulting to the 'machine' field
45           from the uname(2) system call. The "operating_system" parameter is
46           the formal operating system name, defaulting to the 'sysname' field
47           from the uname(2) system call.  The optional "options" parameter is
48           a hash reference containing arbitrary deployment specific metadata
49           about the platform.
50
51       $value = $platform->option($name[, $newvalue]);
52           Retrieves a custom option describing a custom aspect of the build
53           host platform, identified as interesting by the administrator.  If
54           the $newvalue parameter is supplied, then the configuration option
55           is updated.
56
57       my @names = $platform->options;
58           Return a list of all custom options set against this platform. The
59           names returned can be used in calling the "option" method to lookup
60           a value.
