NAME
Slaughter::Info::generic - Determine information about a generic host.
SYNOPSIS
This module is the generic version of the Slaughter information-gathering module.
Modules beneath the Slaughter::Info namespace are loaded when slaughter is executed, they are used to populate a hash with information about the current host.
This module is loaded when no specific module matches the local system, and is essentially a no-operation module. A real info-module is loaded by consulting with the value of $^O, so for example we might load Slaughter::Info::linux.
The information discovered can be dumped by running slaughter
~# slaughter --dumpUsage of this module is as follows:
use Slaughter::Info::generic;
my $obj = Slaughter::Info::generic->new();
my $data = $obj->getInformation();NOTE: The data retrieved by this generic module is almost empty.
The only user-callable method is the getInformation method which is designed to return a hash of data about the current system.
METHODS
Now follows documentation on the available methods.
new
Create a new instance of this object.
getInformation
This function retrieves meta-information about the current host, and is the fall-back module which is used if a system-specific information module cannot be loaded.
The return value is a hash-reference of data determined dynamically.
Currently the following OS-specific modules exist:
