Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.

•

bsd

BSD-derived Unix operating systems.

sysv

SysV-derived Unix operating systems.

•

posix

For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully-, mostly-, and largely-compliant ones (source: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX>).

From what I can gather, dec_osf is not POSIX compliant, although there is a posix package for it.

$data

An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:

 [$name, \@tags, $description]

$re_os_is_known

Current value:

is_posix([ $os ]) => bool

Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is POSIX (checked by the existence of "posix" tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.

is_unix([ $os ]) => bool

Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is Unix (checked by the existence of "unix" tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.
