💖 System::Info::Irix 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to System::Info::Irix — the <3pm> perl manpage that's literally the Irix-flavoured little sibling in the System::Info family. it's an object for specific Irix info, and yes, that's the whole vibe. it shows up in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's here to tell you what this thing does before you go poking at an SGI box like a chaos gremlin 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

System::Info::Irix — an object for specific Irix info. that's it, that's the name, no notes 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

here's where the actual lore drops. this package gives you a couple of methods that go digging around your Irix system so System::Info can actually know stuff about it. iykyk 🎀

🫶 $si->prepare_sysinfo

use os-specific tools to find out more about the system. like, the whole machine vibe check. 🔥

🫶 $si->prepare_os

use os-specific tools to find out more about the operating system. so yes, it does both — the box and the OS running on it. slay. ✨

okay so this is the part where we give credit where credit is due, because the way that people built this and just handed it to us?? iconic. 🫶
