NAME

Dpkg::Arch - handle architectures

DESCRIPTION

The Dpkg::Arch module provides functions to handle Debian architectures, wildcards, and mapping from and to GNU triplets.

FUNCTIONS

$arch = get_raw_build_arch(): Get the raw build Debian architecture, without taking into account variables from the environment.
$arch = get_build_arch(): Get the build Debian architecture, using DEB_BUILD_ARCH from the environment if available.
$arch = get_raw_host_arch(): Get the raw host Debian architecture, without taking into account variables from the environment.
$arch = get_host_arch(): Get the host Debian architecture, using DEB_HOST_ARCH from the environment if available.
@arch_list = get_valid_arches(): Get an array with all currently known Debian architectures.
$multiarch = gnutriplet_to_multiarch($gnutriplet): Map a GNU triplet into a Debian multiarch triplet.
$multiarch = debarch_to_multiarch($arch): Map a Debian architecture into a Debian multiarch triplet.
$gnutriplet = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch): Map a Debian architecture into a GNU triplet.
$arch = gnutriplet_to_debarch($gnutriplet): Map a GNU triplet into a Debian architecture.
$bool = debarch_eq($arch_a, $arch_b): Evaluate the equality of a Debian architecture, by comparing with another Debian architecture. No wildcard matching is performed.
$bool = debarch_is($arch, $arch_wildcard): Evaluate the identity of a Debian architecture, by matchings with an architecture wildcard.
$bool = debarch_is_wildcard($arch): Evaluate whether a Debian architecture is an architecture wildcard.
$bool = debarch_is_concerned($arch, @arches): Evaluate whether a Debian architecture applies to the list of architecture restrictions, as usually found in dependencies inside square brackets.
