Test::AutoBuild::PlatfUser3Contributed Perl DocumeTest::AutoBuild::Platform(3)

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

SYNOPSIS
	 use Test::AutoBuild::Platform;

	 # Create a new platform based on the host machine's native
	 # environment
	 my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host");

	 # Or create a platform describing a chroot environment which
	 # has a differing OS, but same architecture
	 my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
						       label => "Fedora Core 3");

	 # Or create a platform describing an emulated OS
	 my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
						       label => "Free BSD",
						       operating_system => "bsd",
						       architecture => "x86_64");

	 # Create a platform describing the host, with some 'interesting'
	 # extra metadata about the toolchain
	 my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
						       options => {
		 'compiler.cc' => "GCC 3.2.3",
		 'compiler.c++' => "G++ 3.2.3",
		 'linker' => "GNU LD 2.15",
	       });

METHODS
       my $stage = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => $name, [label =>
       $label,]); [architecture => $arch,]); [operating_system => $os,]
       [options => \%options]);
	   Creates a new platform object describing a build root environment.
	   The "name" parameter is a short tag for the platform. The optional
	   "label" parameter is a free text descriptive title for the
	   platform, typically the OS distribution name.  If omitted, the
	   first line of /etc/issue will be used. The "architecture" parameter
	   is the formal machine architecture, defaulting to the 'machine'
	   field from the uname(2) system call. The "operating_system"
	   parameter is the formal operating system name, defaulting to the
	   'sysname' field from the uname(2) system call.  The optional
	   "options" parameter is a hash reference containing arbitrary
	   deployment specific metadata about the platform.

       $value = $platform->option($name[, $newvalue]);
	   Retrieves a custom option describing a custom aspect of the build
	   host platform, identified as interesting by the administrator.  If
	   the $newvalue parameter is supplied, then the configuration option
	   is updated.

       my @names = $platform->options;
	   Return a list of all custom options set against this platform. The
	   names returned can be used in calling the "option" method to lookup
	   a value.
