NAME

       Genome::Sys  -  System layer

VERSION

       This document describes Genome::Sys version 0.05.

SYNOPSIS

       use Genome;

       my $dir = Genome::Sys->dbpath('cosmic', 'latest');

DESCRIPTION

       Genome::Sys is a simple layer on top of OS-level concerns, including those automatically
       handled by the analysis system, like database cache locations.

METHODS

   swpath($name,$version)
       Return the path to a given executable, library, or package.

       This is a wrapper for the OS-specific strategy for managing multiple versions of software
       packages, (i.e. /etc/alternatives for Debian/Ubuntu)

       The GENOME_SW environment variable contains a colon-separated lists of paths which this
       falls back to.  The default value is /var/lib/genome/sw/.

   dbpath($name,$version)
       Return the path to the preprocessed copy of the specified database.  (This is in lieu of a
       consistent API for the database in question.)

       The GENOME_DB environment variable contains a colon-separated lists of paths which this
       falls back to.  The default value is /var/lib/genome/db/.
