<b>Overview:</b> Unix has been eddited to make several different versions of it. This is how Mac and Linux came to be. Unix is the basis of most modern operating systems.
<hr width="500">
<b>History:</b> Unix was developed in 1969 at Bell labs. In 2007 the Unix trademark was handed over to The Open Group that has developed standards for the system. All Unix systems must meet their standards or they are considered Unix-like systems. Linux is considered a Unix like system because it was built off of Unix and no longer meets the standards.

perl::ostype
Perl::OSType(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Perl::OSType(3perl)
NAME
Perl::OSType - Map Perl operating system names to generic types
VERSION
version 1.002
SYNOPSIS
use Perl::OSType ':all';
$current_type = os_type();
$other_type = os_type('dragonfly'); # gives 'Unix'
DESCRIPTION
Modules that provide OS-specific behaviors often need to know if the current operating system matches a more generic type of operating
systems. For example, 'linux' is a type of 'Unix' operating system and so is 'freebsd'.
This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by $^O and a more generic type. The initial version is based on
the OS type mappings provided in Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder. (Thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type 'Windows'
rather than 'Win32'.)
USAGE
No functions are exported by default. The export tag ":all" will export all functions listed below.
os_type()
$os_type = os_type();
$os_type = os_type('MSWin32');
Returns a single, generic OS type for a given operating system name. With no arguments, returns the OS type for the current value of $^O.
If the operating system is not recognized, the function will return the empty string.
is_os_type()
$is_windows = is_os_type('Windows');
$is_unix = is_os_type('Unix', 'dragonfly');
Given an OS type and OS name, returns true or false if the OS name is of the given type. As with "os_type", it will use the current
operating system as a default if no OS name is provided.
