=head1 NAME

B<Uname.pm> -- A few subroutines to get system information usually provided by
C</bin/uname> and C<POSIX::uname()>.

    $fqdn              = Uname::fqdn();

    $hardware_platform = Uname::hardware_platform();

    # Auxiliary property functions.
    $host_name         = Uname::host_name();

    $kernel_name = Uname::value( "kernel_name" );

=head1 DESCRIPTION

B<Uname.pm> resembles functionality found in C<POSIX::uname()> function or in C<uname> program.
However, both C<POSIX::uname()> and C</bin/uname> have some disadvantages:

=over

=item *

C<uname> may be not available in some environments, for example, in Windows* OS
(C<uname> may be found in some third-party software packages, like MKS Toolkit or Cygwin, but it is
not a part of OS).

=item *

There are many different versions of C<uname>. For example, C<uname> on OS X* does not
recognize options C<-i>, C<-o>, and any long options.

=item *

Different versions of C<uname> may report the same property differently. For example,
C<uname> on Linux* OS reports machine as C<i686>, while C<uname> on OS X* reports the same machine as
C<x86>.

=item *

C<POSIX::uname()> returns list of values. I cannot recall what is the fourth element of the list.

=back

=head2 Base Functions

Base property functions provide the information as C<uname> program.

=over

=item B<kernel_name()>

Returns the kernel name, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>.

=item B<fqdn()>

Returns the FQDN, fully qualified domain name. On some systems C<POSIX::uname()> reports short node
name (with no domain name), on others C<POSIX::uname()> reports full node name. This
function strive to return FQDN always (by refining C<POSIX::uname()> with
C<Net::Domain::hostfqdn()>).

=item B<kernel_release()>

Returns the kernel release string, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>. Usually the string consists of
several numbers, separated by dots and dashes, but may also include some non-numeric substrings like
"smp".

=item B<kernel_version()>

Returns the kernel version string, as reported by C<POSIX::uname()>. It is B<not> several
dot-separated numbers but much longer string describing the kernel.
For example, on Linux* OS it includes build date.
If you look for something identifying the kernel, look at L<kernel_release>.

=item B<machine()>

Returns the machine hardware name, as reported by POSIX::uname(). Not reliable. Different OSes may
report the same machine hardware name differently. For example, Linux* OS reports C<i686>, while OS X*
reports C<x86> on the same machine.

=item B<processor()>

Returns the processor type. Not reliable. Usually the same as C<machine>.

=item B<hardware_platform()>

One of: C<i386> or C<x86_64>.

=item B<operating_system()>

One of: C<GNU/Linux>, C<OS X*>, or C<MS Windows>.

=back

=head2 Auxiliary Functions

Auxiliary functions extends base functions with information not reported by C<uname> program.

Auxiliary functions collect information from different sources. For example, on OS X*, they may
call C<sw_vers> program to find out OS release; on Linux* OS they may parse C</etc/redhat-release> file,
etc.

=over

=item B<host_name()>

Returns host name (FQDN with dropped domain part).

=item B<domain_name()>

Returns domain name (FQDN with dropped host part).

=item B<operating_system_name>

Name of operating system or name of Linux* OS distribution, like "Fedora" or
"Red Hat Enterprise Linux* OS Server".

=item B<operating_system_release>

Release (version) of operating system or Linux* OS distribution. Usually it is a series of
dot-separated numbers.

=item B<operating_system_codename>

Codename of operating system release or Linux* OS distribution. For example, Fedora 10 is "Cambridge"
while OS X* 10.4 is "Tiger".

=item B<operating_system_description>

Longer string. Usually it includes all the operating system properting mentioned above -- name,
release, codename in parentheses.

=back

=head2 Meta Functions

=over

=item B<base_names()>

This function returns the list of base property names.

=item B<all_names()>

This function returns the list of all property names.

=item B<value(> I<name> B<)>

This function returns the value of the property specified by I<name>.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

    use Uname;

    print( Uname::string(), "\n" );

    foreach my $name ( Uname::all_names() ) {
        print( "$name=\"" . Uname::value( $name ) . "\"\n" );
    }; # foreach $name
