=head2 Platform Detection

=over 4

=item C<platform>

If C<$^O=~/MSWin(32|64)$/i> is true we know that we're on
Windows and we set the global variable C<$::_platform_> to C<win32>.
Otherwise we call C<platform_name> with the output of C<config.guess>
as argument.

The result is stored in a global variable C<$::_platform_>, and
subsequent calls just return that value.

=cut

sub platform {
  unless (defined $::_platform_) {
    if ($^O =~ /^MSWin/i) {
      $::_platform_ = "win32";
    } else {
      my $config_guess = "$::installerdir/tlpkg/installer/config.guess";

      # We cannot rely on #! in config.guess but have to call /bin/sh
      # explicitly because sometimes the 'noexec' flag is set in
      # /etc/fstab for ISO9660 file systems.
      chomp (my $guessed_platform = `/bin/sh '$config_guess'`);

      # For example, if the disc or reader has hardware problems.
      die "$0: could not run $config_guess, cannot proceed, sorry"
        if ! $guessed_platform;

      $::_platform_ = platform_name($guessed_platform);
    }
  }
  return $::_platform_;
}


=item C<platform_name($canonical_host)>

Convert a canonical host names as returned by C<config.guess> into
TeX Live platform names.

CPU type is determined by a regexp, and any C</^i.86/> name is replaced
by C<i386>.

For OS we need a list because what's returned is not likely to match our
historical names, e.g., C<config.guess> returns C<linux-gnu> but we need
C<linux>.  This list might/should contain OSs which are not currently
supported.

If a particular platform is not found in this list we use the regexp
C</.*-(.*$)/> as a last resort and hope it provides something useful.

=item C<win32>

Return C<1> if platform is Windows and C<0> otherwise.  The test is
currently based on the value of Perl's C<$^O> variable.

=item C<getenv($string)>

Get an environment variable.  It is assumed that the environment
variable contains a path.  On Windows all backslashes are replaced by
forward slashes as required by Perl.  If this behavior is not desired,
use C<$ENV{"$variable"}> instead.  C<0> is returned if the
environment variable is not set.

  }

=item C<which($string)>

C<which> does the same as the UNIX command C<which(1)>, but it is
supposed to work on Windows too.  On Windows we have to try all the
extensions given in the C<PATHEXT> environment variable.  We also try
without appending an extension because if C<$string> comes from an
environment variable, an extension might already be present.

=item C<get_system_tmpdir>

Evaluate the environment variables C<TMPDIR>, C<TMP>, and C<TEMP> in
order to find the system temporary directory.

=cut

sub get_system_tmpdir {
  my $systmp=0;
  $systmp||=getenv 'TMPDIR';
  $systmp||=getenv 'TMP';
  $systmp||=getenv 'TEMP';
  $systmp||='/tmp';

}

=item C<tl_tmpdir>

Create a temporary directory which is cleaned up as soon as the program
is terminated.

=cut

sub tl_tmpdir {
  return (File::Temp::tempdir(CLEANUP => 1));
}

=item C<xchdir($dir)>

C<chdir($dir)> or die.

=cut

sub xchdir {
  my ($dir) = @_;
  chdir($dir) || die "$0: chdir($dir) failed: $!";
  ddebug("xchdir($dir) ok\n");
}


=item C<xsystem(@args)>

Run C<system(@args)> and die if unsuccessful.

=cut

sub xsystem {
  my (@args) = @_;
  ddebug("running system(@args)\n");
  my $retval = system(@args);
  if ($retval != 0) {

    my $pwd = cwd ();
    die "$0: system(@args) failed in $pwd, status $retval";
  }
}

=item C<run_cmd($cmd)>

runs a command and captures its output. Then returns a list with the
output as first element and the return value (exit code) as second.

=cut

sub run_cmd {
  my $cmd = shift;
  my $output = `$cmd`;
  my $retval = $?;

Tests whether its argument is writable by trying to write to
it. This function is necessary because the built-in C<-w> test just
looks at mode and uid/guid, which on Windows always returns true and
even on Unix is not always good enough for directories mounted from
a fileserver.

# lead to a race condition. OTOH, it should work even on a very
# broken Perl.

# lacking administrative permissions, it would write successfully to
# the virtualized Program Files rather than fail to write to the
# real Program Files. Ugh.

=item C<rmtree($root, $verbose, $safe)>

The C<rmtree> function provides a convenient way to delete a
subtree from the directory structure, much like the Unix command C<rm -r>.
C<rmtree> takes three arguments:

=over 4

=item *

the root of the subtree to delete, or a reference to
a list of roots.  All of the files and directories
below each root, as well as the roots themselves,
will be deleted.

=item *

a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
print a message each time it examines a file, giving the
name of the file, and indicating whether it's using C<rmdir>
or C<unlink> to remove it, or that it's skipping it.
(defaults to FALSE)

=item *

a boolean value, which if TRUE will cause C<rmtree> to
skip any files to which you do not have delete access
(if running under VMS) or write access (if running
under another OS).  This will change in the future when
a criterion for 'delete permission' under OSs other
than VMS is settled.  (defaults to FALSE)

=back

It returns the number of files successfully deleted.  Symlinks are
simply deleted and not followed.

B<NOTE:> There are race conditions internal to the implementation of
C<rmtree> making it unsafe to use on directory trees which may be
altered or moved while C<rmtree> is running, and in particular on any
directory trees with any path components or subdirectories potentially
writable by untrusted users.

Additionally, if the third parameter is not TRUE and C<rmtree> is
interrupted, it may leave files and directories with permissions altered
to allow deletion (and older versions of this module would even set
files and directories to world-read/writable!)

Note also that the occurrence of errors in C<rmtree> can be determined I<only>
by trapping diagnostic messages using C<$SIG{__WARN__}>; it is not apparent
from the return value.

=item C<copy($file, $target_dir)>

=item C<copy("-f", $file, $destfile)>

Copy file C<$file> to directory C<$target_dir>, or to the C<$destfile>
in the second case.  No external programs are involved.  Since we need
C<sysopen()>, the Perl module C<Fcntl.pm> is required.  The time stamps
are preserved and symlinks are created on Unix systems.  On Windows,
C<(-l $file)> will never return 'C<true>' and so symlinks will be
(uselessly) copied as regular files.

C<copy> invokes C<mkdirhier> if target directories do not exist.  Files
have mode C<0777> if they are executable and C<0666> otherwise, with
the set bits in I<umask> cleared in each case.

C<$file> can begin with a file:/ prefix.

If C<$file> is not readable, we return without copying anything.  (This
can happen when the database and files are not in perfect sync.)  On the
other file, if the destination is not writable, or the writing fails,
that is a fatal error.

=item C<collapse_dirs(@files)>

Return a (more or less) minimal list of directories and files, given an
original list of files C<@files>.  That is, if every file within a given
directory is included in C<@files>, replace all of those files with the
absolute directory name in the return list.  Any files which have
sibling files not included are retained and made absolute.

We try to walk up the tree so that the highest-level directory
containing only directories or files that are in C<@files> is returned.
(This logic may not be perfect, though.)

This is not just a string function; we check for other directory entries
existing on disk within the directories of C<@files>.  Therefore, if the
entries are relative pathnames, the current directory must be set by the
caller so that file tests work.

As mentioned above, the returned list is absolute paths to directories
and files.

For example, suppose the input list is

  dir1/subdir1/file1
  dir1/subdir2/file2
  dir1/file3

If there are no other entries under C<dir1/>, the result will be
C</absolute/path/to/dir1>.

=item C<install_package($what, $reloc, $size, $md5, $filelistref, $target, $platform)>

This function installs the files given in @$filelistref from C<$what>
into C<$target>.

C<$size> gives the size in bytes of the container, or -1 if we are
installing from uncompressed media, i.e., from a list of files to be copied.

If C<$what> is a reference to a list of files then these files are
assumed to be readable and are copied to C<$target>, creating dirs on
the way. In this case the list C<@$filelistref> is not taken into
account.

If C<$what> starts with C<http://> or C<ftp://> then C<$what> is
downloaded from the net and piped through C<xzdec> and C<tar>.

If $what ends with C<.tar.xz> (but does not start with C<http://> or
C<ftp://>, but possibly with C<file:/>) it is assumed to be a readable
file on the system and is likewise piped through C<xzdec> and C<tar>.

In both of these cases currently the list C<$@filelistref> currently
is not taken into account (should be fixed!).

if C<$reloc> is true the container (NET or local_compressed mode) is packaged in a way
that the initial texmf-dist is missing.

Returns 1 on success and 0 on error.

=item C<download_file( $relpath, $destination [, $progs ] )>

Try to download the file given in C<$relpath> from C<$TeXLiveURL>
into C<$destination>, which can be either
a filename of simply C<|>. In the latter case a file handle is returned.

The optional argument C<$progs> is a reference to a hash giving full
paths to the respective programs, at least C<wget>.  If C<$progs> is not
given the C<%::progs> hash is consulted, and if this also does not exist
we try a literal C<wget>.

Downloading honors two environment variables: C<TL_DOWNLOAD_PROGRAM> and
C<TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS>. The former overrides the above specification
devolving to C<wget>, and the latter overrides the default wget
arguments.

C<TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS> must be defined so that the file the output goes to
is the first argument after the C<TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS>.  Thus, typically it
would end in C<-O>.  Use with care.

These five functions create C<fmtutil.cnf>, C<updmap.cfg>, C<language.dat>,
C<language.def>, and C<language.dat.lua> respectively, in C<$dest> (which by
default is below C<$TEXMFSYSVAR>).  These functions merge the information
present in the TLPDB C<$tlpdb> (formats, maps, hyphenations) with local
configuration additions: C<$localconf>.

Currently the merging is done by omitting disabled entries specified
in the local file, and then appending the content of the local
configuration files at the end of the file. We should also check for
duplicates, maybe even error checking.

The C<sort_uniq> function sorts the given array and throws away multiple
occurrences of elements. It returns a sorted and unified array.

=item C<info ($str1, $str2, ...)>

Write a normal informational message, the concatenation of the argument
strings.  The message will be written unless C<-q> was specified.  If
the global C<$::machinereadable> is set (the C<--machine-readable>
option to C<tlmgr>), then output is written to stderr, else to stdout.
If the log file (see L<process_logging_options>) is defined, it also
writes there.

It is best to use this sparingly, mainly to give feedback during lengthy
operations and for final results.

=item C<debug ($str1, $str2, ...)>

Write a debugging message, the concatenation of the argument strings.
The message will be omitted unless C<-v> was specified.  If the log
file (see L<process_logging_options>) is defined, it also writes there.

This first level debugging message reports on the overall flow of
work, but does not include repeated messages about processing of each
package.

=cut

sub debug {

  }
}


=item C<ddebug ($str1, $str2, ...)>

Write a deep debugging message, the concatenation of the argument
strings.  The message will be omitted unless C<-v -v> (or higher) was
specified.  If the log file (see L<process_logging_options>) is defined,
it also writes there.

This second level debugging message reports messages about processing
each package, in addition to the first level.

=cut

sub ddebug {
  my $str = "DD:" . join("", @_);
  return if ($::opt_verbosity < 2);

=item C<dddebug ($str1, $str2, ...)>

Write the deepest debugging message, the concatenation of the argument
strings.  The message will be omitted unless C<-v -v -v> was specified.
If the log file (see L<process_logging_options>) is defined, it also
writes there.

This third level debugging message reports messages about processing
each line of any tlpdb files read, in addition to the first and second
levels.

=cut

sub dddebug {
  my $str = "DDD:" . join("", @_);
  return if ($::opt_verbosity < 3);

Write a message to the log file (and nowhere else), the concatenation of
the argument strings.

=cut

  $::opt_quiet = 0;
  _logit('file', -100, @_);
  $::opt_quiet = $savequiet;
}


=item C<tlwarn ($str1, $str2, ...)>

Write a warning message, the concatenation of the argument strings.
This always and unconditionally writes the message to standard error; if
the log file (see L<process_logging_options>) is defined, it also writes
there.

=cut

=item C<process_logging_options ($texdir)>

This function handles the common logging options for TeX Live scripts.
It should be called before C<GetOptions> for any program-specific option
handling.  For our conventional calling sequence, see (for example) the
L<tlpfiles> script.

These are the options handled here:

=over 4

=item B<-q>

Omit normal informational messages.

=item B<-v>

Include debugging messages.  With one C<-v>, reports overall flow; with
C<-v -v> (or C<-vv>), also reports per-package processing; with C<-v -v
-v> (or C<-vvv>), also reports each line read from any tlpdb files.
Further repeats of C<-v>, as in C<-v -v -v -v>, are accepted but
ignored.  C<-vvvv> is an error.

The idea behind these levels is to be able to specify C<-v> to get an
overall idea of what is going on, but avoid terribly voluminous output
when processing many packages, as we often are.  When debugging a
specific problem with a specific package, C<-vv> can help.  When
debugging problems with parsing tlpdb files, C<-vvv> gives that too.

=item B<-logfile> I<file>

Write all messages (informational, debugging, warnings) to I<file>, in
addition to standard output or standard error.  In TeX Live, only the
installer sets a log file by default; none of the other standard TeX
Live scripts use this feature, but you can specify it explicitly.

=back

See also the L<info>, L<debug>, L<ddebug>, and L<tlwarn> functions,
which actually write the messages.

=pod

This function takes a single argument I<path> and returns it with
C<"> chars surrounding it on Unix.  On Windows, the C<"> chars are only
added if I<path> a few special characters, since unconditional quoting
leads to errors there.  In all cases, any C<"> chars in I<path> itself
are (erroneously) eradicated.
 
=cut

  my $p = shift;

  if ( $p =~ m/$m/ ) {

    $p = "\"$p\""; 
  }
  return($p);
}

=pod

This function returns a "Windows-ized" version of its single argument
I<path>, i.e., replaces all forward slashes with backslashes, and adds
an additional C<"> at the beginning and end if I<path> contains any
spaces.  It also makes the path absolute. So if $path does not start
with one (arbitrary) characer followed by C<:>, we add the output of
C<`cd`>.

The result is suitable for running in shell commands, but not file tests
or other manipulations, since in such internal Perl contexts, the quotes
would be considered part of the filename.

=cut

sub conv_to_w32_path {
  my $p = shift;
  # we need absolute paths, too

}

=pod

The next two functions are meant for user input/output in installer menus.
They help making the windows user happy by turning slashes into backslashes
before displaying a path, and our code happy by turning backslashes into forwars
slashes after reading a path. They both are no-ops on Unix.

=item C<mktexupd ()>

Append entries to C<ls-R> files.  Usage example:

  my $updLSR=&mktexupd();
  $updLSR->{mustexist}(1);
  $updLSR->{add}(file1);
  $updLSR->{add}(file2);
  $updLSR->{add}(file3);
  $updLSR->{exec}();
  
The first line creates a new object.  Only one such object should be 
created in a program in order to avoid duplicate entries in C<ls-R> files.

C<add> pushes a filename or a list of filenames to a hash encapsulated 
in a closure.  Filenames must be specified with the full (absolute) path.  
Duplicate entries are ignored.  

C<exec> checks for each component of C<$TEXMFDBS> whether there are files
in the hash which have to be appended to the corresponding C<ls-R> files 
and eventually updates the corresponding C<ls-R> files.  Files which are 
in directories not stated in C<$TEXMFDBS> are silently ignored.

If the flag C<mustexist> is set, C<exec> aborts with an error message 
if a file supposed to be appended to an C<ls-R> file doesn't exist physically
on the file system.  This option was added for compatibility with the 
C<mktexupd> shell script.  This option shouldn't be enabled in scripts,
except for testing, because it degrades performance on non-cached file
systems.
