Public Instance methods

query(search)

Query the search field. The search can either be a key or a set of keys separated by "#" signs.

Examples: 

  query(:os) # => "linux"
  query("arch") # => "i686"
  query("os#arch") # => "linux_i686"
  query("os#arch#distro#release") # => "linux_i686_ubuntu_6.06"

Fields that may be provided by drivers:

  • :arch — Hardware architecture, e.g., "i686"
  • :os — Operating system, e.g., "linux"
  • :distro — Operating system distribution, e.g., "ubuntu"
  • :release — Operating system distribution release, e.g., "6.06"
single_vendor?()

Is this a single-vendor operating system? E.g., Windows is, while Linux isn‘t. This method helps the TagManager determine how to name tags. A single-vendor product uses the "os#release" format (e.g., "windows_xp"), while a multi-vendor product uses a "distro#release" format ("ubuntu_6.06").

tags()

Return an array of tags for this platform.
