.SH NAME
Dpkg::Arch \- handle architectures
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
The Dpkg::Arch module provides functions to handle Debian architectures,
wildcards, and mapping from and to GNU triplets.
.PP
No symbols are exported by default. The :all tag can be used to import all
symbols. The :getters, :parsers, :mappers and :operators tags can be used
to import specific symbol subsets.

if available.
.ie n .IP "$arch = \fBget_raw_host_arch()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$arch\fR = \fBget_raw_host_arch()\fR" 4

Get the raw host Debian architecture, without taking into account variables
from the environment.
.ie n .IP "$arch = \fBget_host_arch()\fR" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$arch\fR = \fBget_host_arch()\fR" 4

Get the host Debian architecture, using DEB_HOST_ARCH from the environment
if available.

.el .IP "\f(CW$multiarch\fR = gnutriplet_to_multiarch($gnutriplet)" 4
.IX Item "$multiarch = gnutriplet_to_multiarch($gnutriplet)"
Map a GNU triplet into a Debian multiarch triplet.
.ie n .IP "$multiarch = debarch_to_multiarch($arch)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$multiarch\fR = debarch_to_multiarch($arch)" 4
.IX Item "$multiarch = debarch_to_multiarch($arch)"
Map a Debian architecture into a Debian multiarch triplet.
.ie n .IP "$gnutriplet = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$gnutriplet\fR = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch)" 4
.IX Item "$gnutriplet = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch)"
Map a Debian architecture into a GNU triplet.

.IX Item "$bool = debarch_eq($arch_a, $arch_b)"
Evaluate the equality of a Debian architecture, by comparing with another
Debian architecture. No wildcard matching is performed.

.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = debarch_is($arch, \f(CW$arch_wildcard\fR)" 4
.IX Item "$bool = debarch_is($arch, $arch_wildcard)"
Evaluate the identity of a Debian architecture, by matching with an
architecture wildcard.
.ie n .IP "$bool = debarch_is_wildcard($arch)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW$bool\fR = debarch_is_wildcard($arch)" 4
.IX Item "$bool = debarch_is_wildcard($arch)"

.Sp
If the "positive" option is set to a true value, only positive architectures
will be accepted, otherwise negated architectures are allowed.

.IX Item "$bool = debarch_is_concerned($arch, @arches)"
Evaluate whether a Debian architecture applies to the list of architecture
restrictions, as usually found in dependencies inside square brackets.
.ie n .IP "@array = debarch_list_parse($arch_list, %options)" 4
.el .IP "\f(CW@array\fR = debarch_list_parse($arch_list, \f(CW%options\fR)" 4
.IX Item "@array = debarch_list_parse($arch_list, %options)"
Parse an architecture list.
.Sp
If the "positive" option is set to a true value, only positive architectures
will be accepted, otherwise negated architectures are allowed.
