For example, 'linux' is a type of 'Unix' operating system and so is 'freebsd'. This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by C<$^O> and a more generic type. The initial version is based on the OS type mappings provided in L and L. (Thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type 'Windows' rather than 'Win32'.) =head1 USAGE No functions are exported by default. The export tag ":all" will export all functions listed below. =head2 os_type() $os_type = os_type(); $os_type = os_type('MSWin32'); Returns a single, generic OS type for a given operating system name. With no arguments, returns the OS type for the current value of C<$^O>. If the operating system is not recognized, the function will return the empty string. =head2 is_os_type() $is_windows = is_os_type('Windows'); $is_unix = is_os_type('Unix', 'dragonfly'); Given an OS type and OS name, returns true or false if the OS name is of the given type. As with C, it will use the current operating system as a default if no OS name is provided. =head1 SEE ALSO =over 4 =item * L =back =for :stopwords cpan testmatrix url annocpan anno bugtracker rt cpants kwalitee diff irc mailto metadata placeholders metacpan =head1 SUPPORT =head2 Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at L.
