NAME

       App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID - Information about the OSSP UUID library

SYNOPSIS

         use App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID;

         my $uuid = App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID->new;

         if ($uuid->installed) {
             print "App name: ", $uuid->name, "\n";
             print "Version:  ", $uuid->version, "\n";
             print "Bin dir:  ", $uuid->bin_dir, "\n";
         } else {
             print "Expat is not installed. :-(\n";
         }

DESCRIPTION

       App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID supplies information about the OSSP UUID library installed on the local system.
       It implements all of the methods defined by App::Info::Lib. Methods that trigger events will trigger them
       only the first time they're called (See App::Info for documentation on handling events). To start over
       (after, say, someone has installed the OSSP UUID library) construct a new App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID object
       to aggregate new meta data.

       Some of the methods trigger the same events. This is due to cross-calling of shared subroutines. However,
       any one event should be triggered no more than once. For example, although the info event "Executing
       `uuid-config --version`" is documented for the methods "name()" "version()", "major_version()",
       "minor_version()", and "patch_version()", rest assured that it will only be triggered once, by whichever
       of those four methods is called first.

INTERFACE

Constructor
new

my $expat = App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID->new(@params);

Returns an App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID object. See App::Info for a complete description of argument
parameters.

When called, "new()" searches all of the paths returned by the "search_lib_dirs()" method for one of the
files returned by the "search_lib_names()" method. If any of is found, then the OSSP UUID library is
assumed to be installed. Otherwise, most of the object methods will return "undef".

Events:

info
Looking for uuid-config

confirm
Path to uuid-config?

unknown
Path to uuid-config?

Class Method
key_name

my $key_name = App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID->key_name;

Returns the unique key name that describes this class. The value returned is the string "OSSP UUID".

Object Methods
installed

print "UUID is ", ($uuid->installed ? '' : 'not '), "installed.\n";

Returns true if the OSSP UUID library is installed, and false if it is not. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID
determines whether the library is installed based on the presence or absence on the file system of the
"uuid-config" application, searched for when "new()" constructed the object. If the OSSP UUID library
does not appear to be installed, then most of the other object methods will return empty values.

name

my $name = $uuid->name;

Returns the name of the library. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID parses the name from the system call
"`uuid-config --version`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --version`

error
Failed to find OSSP UUID version with `uuid-config --version`

Unable to parse name from string

Unable to parse version from string

version

my $version = $uuid->version;

Returns the OSSP UUID version number. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID parses the version number from the system
call "`uuid-config --version`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --version`

error
Failed to find OSSP UUID version with `uuid-config --version`

Unable to parse name from string

major version

my $major_version = $uuid->major_version;

Returns the OSSP UUID library major version number. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID parses the major version
number from the system call "`uuid-config --version`". For example, if "version()" returns "1.3.0", then
this method returns "1".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --version`

error

minor version

my $minor_version = $uuid->minor_version;

Returns the OSSP UUID library minor version number. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID parses the minor version
number from the system call "`uuid-config --version`". For example, if "version()" returns "1.3.0", then
this method returns "3".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --version`

error
Failed to find OSSP UUID version with `uuid-config --version`

Unable to parse name from string

Unable to parse version from string

Failed to parse OSSP UUID version parts from string

unknown

patch version

my $patch_version = $uuid->patch_version;

Returns the OSSP UUID library patch version number. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID parses the patch version
number from the system call "`uuid-config --version`". For example, if "version()" returns "1.3.0", then
this method returns "0".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --version`

error
Failed to find OSSP UUID version with `uuid-config --version`

Unable to parse name from string

Unable to parse version from string

Failed to parse OSSP UUID version parts from string

unknown
Enter a valid OSSP UUID minor version number

executable

my $exe = $uuid->executable;

Returns the full path to the OSSP UUID executable, which is named uuid. This method does not use the
executable names returned by "search_exe_names()"; those executable names are used to search for uuid-
config only (in "new()").

When it called, "executable()" checks for an executable named uuid in the directory returned by
"bin_dir()".

Note that "executable()" is simply an alias for "uuid()".

Events:

info
Looking for uuid executable

confirm
Path to uuid executable?

unknown
Path to uuid executable?

bin_dir

my $bin_dir = $uuid->bin_dir;

Returns the OSSP UUID binary directory path. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID gathers the path from the system
call "`uuid-config --bindir`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --bindir`

error
Cannot find bin directory

unknown
Enter a valid OSSP UUID bin directory

inc_dir

my $inc_dir = $uuid->inc_dir;

Returns the OSSP UUID include directory path. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID gathers the path from the system
call "`uuid-config --includedir`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --includedir`

error
Cannot find include directory

unknown
Enter a valid OSSP UUID include directory

lib_dir

my $lib_dir = $uuid->lib_dir;

Returns the OSSP UUID library directory path. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID gathers the path from the system
call "`uuid-config --libdir`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --libdir`

error
Cannot find library directory

unknown
Enter a valid OSSP UUID library directory

so_lib_dir

my $so_lib_dir = $uuid->so_lib_dir;

Returns the OSSP UUID shared object library directory path. This is actually just an alias for
"lib_dir()".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --libdir`

error
Cannot find library directory

unknown
Enter a valid OSSP UUID library directory

cflags

my $configure = $uuid->cflags;

Returns the C flags used when compiling the OSSP UUID library. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID gathers the
configure data from the system call "`uuid-config --cflags`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --configure`

error
Cannot find configure information

unknown
Enter OSSP UUID configuration options

ldflags

my $configure = $uuid->ldflags;

Returns the LD flags used when compiling the OSSP UUID library. App::Info::Lib::OSSPUUID gathers the
configure data from the system call "`uuid-config --ldflags`".

Events:

info
Executing `uuid-config --configure`

error
Cannot find configure information

unknown
Enter OSSP UUID configuration options

perl_module

my $bool = $uuid->perl_module;

Return true if "OSSP::uuid" is installed and can be loaded, and false if not. "OSSP::uuid" must be able
to be loaded by the currently running instance of the Perl interpreter.

Events:

info
Loading OSSP::uuid

home_url

my $home_url = $uuid->home_url;

Returns the OSSP UUID home page URL.

download_url

my $download_url = $uuid->download_url;

Returns the OSSP UUID download URL.

search_exe_names

my @search_exe_names = $app->search_exe_names;

Returns a list of possible names for uuid-config executable. By default, only uuid-config is returned (or
uuid-config.exe on Win32).

Note that this method is not used to search for the OSSP UUID server executable, only uuid-config.

search_bin_dirs

my @search_bin_dirs = $app->search_bin_dirs;

Returns a list of possible directories in which to search an executable. Used by the "new()" constructor
to find an executable to execute and collect application info. The found directory will also be returned
by the "bin_dir" method.

The list of directories by default consists of the path as defined by "File::Spec->path", as well as the
following directories:

/usr/local/bin
/usr/local/sbin
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/bin
C:\Program Files\uid\bin

Other Executable Methods
These methods function just like the "executable()" method, except that they return different
executables. OSSP UUID comes with a fair number of them; we provide these methods to provide a path to a
subset of them. Each method, when called, checks for an executable in the directory returned by
"bin_dir()". The name of the executable must be one of the names returned by the corresponding
"search_*_names" method.

The available executable methods are:

uuid
uuid_config

And the corresponding search names methods are:

search_postgres_names
search_createdb_names

Events:

info
Looking for executable

confirm
Path to executable?

unknown
Path to executable?
