Devel::CheckOS::Families - what OS "families" are supported "out of the box" by Devel::CheckOS and Devel::AssertOS?
Computing platforms fall into several categories. For example, there is the category of Unix-a-likes. Each of these categories is a "family". A platform can fall into several families.
Broadly speaking, these are platforms where:
That is, there are seperate read/write/execute permissions for file owner, group and anyone. This implies the presence of multiple user accounts and user groups. Permissions may not be supported on all filesystems.
This includes both ordinary Linux and Android. Plain old Linux will match 'Linux'. Android will match both that and 'Android'.
This includes any version of Windows and also includes things like Cygwin which run on top of it.
These include any OS written by, respectively, DEC, Sun, and Apple. They exist because, while, eg, Mac OS Classic and Mac OS X are very different platforms, they do support some unique features - such as AppleScript.
This is for all real-time OSes. So far, it only includes QNX.
OSes which use EBCDIC instead of ASCII.
