474=head1 DESCRIPTION
475
476B<Uname.pm> resembles functionality found in C<POSIX::uname()> function or in C<uname> program.
477However, both C<POSIX::uname()> and C</bin/uname> have some disadvantages:
478
479=over
480
481=item *
482
483C<uname> may be not available in some environments, for example, in Windows* OS
484(C<uname> may be found in some third-party software packages, like MKS Toolkit or Cygwin, but it is
485not a part of OS).
486
487=item *
488
489There are many different versions of C<uname>. For example, C<uname> on OS X* does not
490recognize options C<-i>, C<-o>, and any long options.
491
492=item *
493
494Different versions of C<uname> may report the same property differently. For example,
495C<uname> on Linux* OS reports machine as C<i686>, while C<uname> on OS X* reports the same machine as
496C<x86>.
497
498=item *
499
500C<POSIX::uname()> returns list of values. I cannot recall what is the fourth element of the list.

504=head2 Base Functions
505
506Base property functions provide the information as C<uname> program.
507
508=over
509
510=item B<kernel_name()>
511
512Returns the kernel name, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>.
513
514=item B<fqdn()>
515
516Returns the FQDN, fully qualified domain name. On some systems C<POSIX::uname()> reports short node
517name (with no domain name), on others C<POSIX::uname()> reports full node name. This
518function strive to return FQDN always (by refining C<POSIX::uname()> with
519C<Net::Domain::hostfqdn()>).
520
521=item B<kernel_release()>
522
523Returns the kernel release string, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>. Usually the string consists of
524several numbers, separated by dots and dashes, but may also include some non-numeric substrings like
525"smp".
526
527=item B<kernel_version()>
528
529Returns the kernel version string, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>. It is B<not> several
530dot-separated numbers but much longer string describing the kernel.
531For example, on Linux* OS it includes build date.
532If you look for something identifying the kernel, look at L<kernel_release>.
533
534=item B<machine()>
535
536Returns the machine hardware name, as reported by POSIX::uname(). Not reliable. Different OSes may
537report the same machine hardware name differently. For example, Linux* OS reports C<i686>, while OS X*
538reports C<x86> on the same machine.
539
540=item B<processor()>
541
542Returns the processor type. Not reliable. Usually the same as C<machine>.
543
544=item B<hardware_platform()>
545
546One of: C<i386> or C<x86_64>.
547
548=item B<operating_system()>
549
550One of: C<GNU/Linux>, C<OS X*>, or C<MS Windows>.

Jim Cownie5e8470a2013-09-27 10:38:44 +0000555
Alp Toker8f2d3f02014-02-24 10:40:15 +0000556Auxiliary functions extends base functions with information not reported by C<uname> program.
Jim Cownie5e8470a2013-09-27 10:38:44 +0000557
Alp Toker8f2d3f02014-02-24 10:40:15 +0000558Auxiliary functions collect information from different sources. For example, on OS X*, they may
Jim Cownie5e8470a2013-09-27 10:38:44 +0000559call C<sw_vers> program to find out OS release; on Linux* OS they may parse C</etc/redhat-release> file,
560etc.
561
562=over
563
564=item B<host_name()>
565
566Returns host name (FQDN with dropped domain part).
567
568=item B<domain_name()>
569
570Returns domain name (FQDN with dropped host part).
571
572=item B<operating_system_name>
573
574Name of operating system or name of Linux* OS distribution, like "Fedora" or
575"Red Hat Enterprise Linux* OS Server".
576
577=item B<operating_system_release>
578
579Release (version) of operating system or Linux* OS distribution. Usually it is a series of
580dot-separated numbers.
581
582=item B<operating_system_codename>
583
584Codename of operating system release or Linux* OS distribution. For example, Fedora 10 is "Cambridge"
585while OS X* 10.4 is "Tiger".
586
587=item B<operating_system_description>
588
589Longer string. Usually it includes all the operating system properting mentioned above -- name,
590release, codename in parentheses.
