NAME
Perl::osnames - List possible $^O ($OSNAME) values, with descriptionVERSION
This document describes version 0.122 of Perl::osnames (from Perl distribution Perl-osnames), released on 2020-02-13.DESCRIPTION
This package contains $data which lists possible values of $^O along with description for each. It also provides some helper functions.Tags
- unix
Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.
- bsd
BSD-derived Unix operating systems.
- sysv
SysV-derived Unix operating systems.
- posix
For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully-, mostly-, and largely-compliant ones (source: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX>).
From what I can gather, dec_osf is not POSIX compliant, although there is a posix package for it.
VARIABLES
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.$data
An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:[$name, \@tags, $description]

FUNCTIONS
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.is_posix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is POSIX (checked by the existence of "posix" tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.is_unix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is Unix (checked by the existence of "unix" tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.HOMEPAGE

SEE ALSO
perlvarConfig
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 POSIX; 2) Perl::osnames provides more tags (like sysv, bsd, posix) and description.
Devel::Platform::Info
The output of "perl -V"
App::osnames, the original reason for Perl::osnames. With this CLI tool you can grep OS names by name, tag, or description, e.g. "osnames solaris" or "osnames posix".
