Distro Reference

Distribution related information

What it is #

Routines #

Signatures are reproduced from the documentation, including their declared return types. A routine listed here is part of the type's published interface; whether Raku++ implements it is a separate question, answered by the examples below.

method is-win #

Instance method returning a Bool indicating whether the distribution is a version of the Windows operating system.

method path-sep #

Instance method returning the string that can be used to delimit elements in a path specification.

method release #

Instance method returning the release information of the Distro object. Dies if the release information could not be established.

Examples, run three ways #

Every example below comes from the official documentation, together with the output that documentation asserts. Each was then executed by Rakudo and by Raku++ when this page was built. Where the three agree, one result is shown; where they do not, all three are — because which of them is wrong is exactly the information worth having.
