Linux::KernelSort(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Linux::KernelSort(3pm)

NAME
Linux::KernelSort - Perl extension for sorting and comparing Linux kernel versions. The expected kernel version naming convention is the same naming convetion demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org. NOTE: Currently, only the 2.6.x series of kernels (including -rc's, -git's, and -mm's) are properly evaluated. SYNOPSIS
use Linux::KernelSort; my $kernel = new Linux::KernelSort; my $ret; my $version1 = "2.6.19"; my $version2 = "2.6.19-rc2-git7"; $ret = $kernel->compare($version1, $version2); if ($ret == 0) { print "$version1 and $version2 are the same version "; } elsif ($ret > 0) { print "$version1 is newer than $version2 "; } else { print "$version1 is older than $version2 "; } my @kernel_list = ( '2.6.15', '2.6.18', '2.6.18-rc2', '2.6.18-rc2-git2', '2.6.18-mm1', '2.6.18-rc2-mm1' ); my @sorted_list = $kernel->sort(@kernel_list); print join( ', ', @sorted_list ); DESCRIPTION
Linux::KernelSort is intended to sort a list of kernel versions into ascending order. It also provides the capability to compare two ker- nel versions and determine if one version is newer, older, or the same as the other version. FUNCTIONS
version_check() Purpose: Verify the version is valid and follows the proper naming convention demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org Input: A string containing the kernel version Return: 0 if version is valid 1 if version is invalid rank() Purpose: Generate a ranking for a given kernel version Input: A string containing the kernel version which follows the proper naming convention demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org Return: Kernel ranking compare() Purpose: Compare two kernel versions Input: Strings ($kernel1, $kernel2) each containing a kernel version which follows the proper naming conventaion demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org Return -1 if $kernel1 < $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is older than $kernel2) 0 if $kernel1 == $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is the same version as $kernel2) 1 if $kernel1 > $kernel2 (ie $kernel1 is newer than $kernel2) sort() Purpose: Sort a list of kernel versions in ascending order. Uses shell sort algorithm. Input: Array of strings containing kernel versions which follows the proper naming convention demonstrated by http://www.kernel.org Return: Sorted array AUTHOR
