.SH "NAME"
Perl::osnames \- List possible $^O ($OSNAME) values, with description
.SH "VERSION"
.IX Header "VERSION"
This document describes version 0.11 of Perl::osnames (from Perl distribution Perl-osnames), released on 2014\-12\-19.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This package contains \f(CW$data\fR which lists possible values of \f(CW$^O\fR along with
description for each. It also provides some helper functions.
.SS "Tags"
.IX Subsection "Tags"
.IP "\(bu" 4
unix
.Sp
Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.
.IP "\(bu" 4
bsd
.Sp
BSD-derived Unix operating systems.
.IP "\(bu" 4
sysv
.Sp
SysV-derived Unix operating systems.
.IP "\(bu" 4
posix
.Sp
For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully\-, mostly\-, and largely-compliant ones
(source: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX>).
.Sp
From what I can gather, dec_osf is not \s-1POSIX\s0 compliant, although there is a
posix package for it.
.SH "VARIABLES"
.IX Header "VARIABLES"
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
.ie n .SS "$data"
.el .SS "\f(CW$data\fP"
.IX Subsection "$data"
An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& [$name, \e@tags, $description]
.Ve
.SH "FUNCTIONS"
.IX Header "FUNCTIONS"
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
.ie n .SS "is_posix([ $os ]) => bool"
.el .SS "is_posix([ \f(CW$os\fP ]) => bool"
.IX Subsection "is_posix([ $os ]) => bool"
Check whether \f(CW$os\fR (defaults to \f(CW$^O\fR if not specified) is \s-1POSIX \s0(checked by
the existence of \f(CW\*(C`posix\*(C'\fR tag on the \s-1OS\s0's record in \f(CW$data\fR). Will return 0, 1,
or undef if \f(CW$os\fR is unknown.
.ie n .SS "is_unix([ $os ]) => bool"
.el .SS "is_unix([ \f(CW$os\fP ]) => bool"
.IX Subsection "is_unix([ $os ]) => bool"
Check whether \f(CW$os\fR (defaults to \f(CW$^O\fR if not specified) is Unix (checked by
the existence of \f(CW\*(C`unix\*(C'\fR tag on the \s-1OS\s0's record in \f(CW$data\fR). Will return 0, 1,
or undef if \f(CW$os\fR is unknown.

perlvar
.PP
Config
.PP
Perl::OSType, a core module. You should probably use this module instead.
Currently the difference between this module and Perl::osnames: 1) Perl::osnames
currently doesn't list beos/haiku as Unix, but \s-1POSIX\s0; 2) Perl::osnames provides
more tags (like sysv, bsd, posix) and description.
.PP
Devel::Platform::Info
.PP
The output of \f(CW\*(C`perl \-V\*(C'\fR
.PP
App::osnames, the original reason for Perl::osnames. With this \s-1CLI\s0 tool you
can grep \s-1OS\s0 names by name, tag, or description, e.g. \f(CW\*(C`osnames solaris\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`osnames posix\*(C'\fR.
