NAME

Test::AutoBuild::Platform - represents a build host's environment

SYNOPSIS

   use Test::AutoBuild::Platform;
 
   # Create a new platform based on the host machine's native
   # environment
   my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host");
 
 
   # Or create a platform describing a chroot environment which
   # has a differing OS, but same architecture
   my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
                                                 label => "Fedora Core 3");
 
   # Or create a platform describing an emulated OS
   my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
                                                 label => "Free BSD",
                                                 operating_system => "bsd",
                                                 architecture => "x86_64");
 
   # Create a platform describing the host, with some 'interesting'
   # extra metadata about the toolchain
   my $platform = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => "host",
                                                 options => {
           'compiler.cc' => "GCC 3.2.3",
           'compiler.c++' => "G++ 3.2.3",
           'linker' => "GNU LD 2.15",
         });
 
 

METHODS

my $stage = Test::AutoBuild::Platform->new(name => $name, [label => $label,]); [architecture => $arch,]); [operating_system => $os,] [options => \%options]);

Creates a new platform object describing a build root environment. The "name" parameter is a short tag for the platform. The optional "label" parameter is a free text descriptive title for the platform, typically the OS distribution name. If omitted, the first line of /etc/issue will be used. The "architecture" parameter is the formal machine architecture, defaulting to the 'machine' field from the uname(2) system call. The "operating_system" parameter is the formal operating system name, defaulting to the 'sysname' field from the uname(2) system call. The optional "options" parameter is a hash reference containing arbitrary deployment specific metadata about the platform.

$value = $platform->option($name[, $newvalue]);

Retrieves a custom option describing a custom aspect of the build host platform, identified as interesting by the administrator. If the $newvalue parameter is supplied, then the configuration option is updated.

my @names = $platform->options;

Return a list of all custom options set against this platform. The names returned can be used in calling the "option" method to lookup a value.
