AppConfig::Sys(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so welcome to AppConfig::Sys(3), bestie — this page comes from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about a Perl5 module defining platform-specific information and methods for other AppConfig::* modules. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

use AppConfig::Sys;
my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();

@fields = $sys->getpwuid($userid);
@fields = $sys->getpwnam($username);

🌸 OVERVIEW 🌸

AppConfig::Sys is a Perl5 module that provides platform-specific information and operations as required by other AppConfig::* modules. 🦋

And yes, AppConfig::Sys is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle. 🎀

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

🎀 USING THE AppConfig::Sys MODULE 🎀

To import and use the AppConfig::Sys module, the following line should appear in your Perl script:

use AppConfig::Sys;

AppConfig::Sys is implemented using object-oriented methods. A new AppConfig::Sys object is created and initialised using the AppConfig::Sys->new() method. This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object. 🫶

my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();

This will attempt to detect your operating system and create a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object that is applicable to your platform. You may explicitly specify an operating system name to override this automatic detection:

$unix_sys = AppConfig::Sys->new("Unix");

Alternatively, the package variable $AppConfig::Sys::OS can be set to an operating system name. The valid operating system names are: Win32, VMS, Mac, OS2 and Unix. They are not case-specific. 👑🌈

🍓 AppConfig::Sys METHODS 🍓

AppConfig::Sys defines the following methods:

• getpwnam() — calls the system function getpwnam() if available and returns the result. Returns undef if not available. The can_getpwnam() method can be called to determine if this function is available. 💖
• getpwuid() — calls the system function getpwuid() if available and returns the result. Returns undef if not available. The can_getpwuid() method can be called to determine if this function is available. 💖
