Lintian::Data::ArchitecturesDebian Package ChecLintian::Data::Architectures(3)
NAME
Lintian::Data::Architectures -- Lintian API for handling architectures
and wildcards
SYNOPSIS
use Lintian::Data::Architectures;
DESCRIPTION
Lintian API for checking and expanding architectures and architecture
wildcards. The functions are backed by a data file, so it may be out
of date (use private/refresh-archs to update it).
Generally all architecture names are in the format "$os-$architecture"
and wildcards are "$os-any" or "any-$cpu", though there are exceptions:
Note that the architecture and cpu name are not always identical
(example architecture "armhf" has cpu name "arm").
INSTANCE METHODS
title
location
host_variables
"wildcards"
"names"
is_wildcard ($wildcard)
Returns a truth value if $wildcard is a known architecture
wildcard.
Note: 'any' is considered a wildcard and not an architecture.
is_release_architecture ($architecture)
Returns a truth value if $architecture is (an alias of) a Debian
machine architecture. It returns a false value for architecture
wildcards (including "any") and unknown architectures.
expand_wildcard ($wildcard)
Returns a list of architectures that this wildcard expands to. No
order is guaranteed (even between calls). Returned values must not
be modified.
Note: This list is based on the architectures in Lintian's data
file. However, many of these are not supported or used in Debian
or any of its derivatives.
The returned values matches the list generated by dpkg-architecture
-L, so the returned list may use (e.g.) "amd64" for "linux-amd64".
wildcard_includes ($wildcard, $architecture)
Returns a truth value if $architecture is included in the list of
architectures that $wildcard expands to.
This is generally faster than
grep { $_ eq $architecture } expand_arch_wildcard ($wildcard)
It also properly handles cases like "linux-amd64" and "amd64" being
aliases.
