=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
