✨ NAME ✨

System::Info::AIX — bestie, it's the little object that goes and gets all the AIX-specific info about your system 💖

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

💅 $si->prepare_sysinfo

Okay so this one uses the os-specific tools to go snoop around and figure out more about the actual system. Detecting, but make it AIX ✨

🦋 $si->prepare_os

And this one uses the os-specific tools to dig up more about the operating system itself. Not the hardware, not the vibes, the OS. Very demure, very mindful. 🌈

The abbreviations you're gonna see in the AIX OS version are giving acronym overload, so here's the decoder ring 🎀

  • ML — Maintenance Level
  • TL — Technology Level
  • SP — Service Pack
  • CSP — Conclusive/Last SP
  • RD — Release Date (YYWW)

So when the OS version reports as "AIX 5.3.0.0/TL12-05", that 05 right there? That's the "SP" number. Periodt. 💅

Newer versions of AIX report using "TL", and older AIX releases report using "ML". Not me needing to remember that every single time 😭. See "oslevel -?" if you wanna check for yourself, bestie.

fr fr, don't mix up your TL and your ML — the version string will humble you 🙈
