User::Identity::System(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation User::Identity::System(3)

User::Identity::System - physical system of a person

 User::Identity::System
   is a User::Identity::Item

 use User::Identity;
 use User::Identity::System;
 my $me   = User::Identity->new(...);
 my $server = User::Identity::System->new(...);
 $me->add(system => $server);

 # Simpler

 use User::Identity;
 my $me   = User::Identity->new(...);
 my $addr = $me->add(system => ...);

The "User::Identity::System" object contains the description of the user's presence on a system. The systems are collected by an User::Identity::Collection::Systems object.

Nearly all methods can return undef.

Extends "DESCRIPTION" in User::Identity::Item.

Extends "METHODS" in User::Identity::Item.

Extends "Constructors" in User::Identity::Item.
User::Identity::System->new( [$name], %options )
Create a new system. You can specify a name as first argument, or in the OPTION list. Without a specific name, the organization is used as name.

 -Option     --Defined in          --Default
  description  User::Identity::Item  undef
  hostname                           'localhost'
  location                           undef
  name         User::Identity::Item  <required>
  os                                 undef
  parent       User::Identity::Item  undef
  password                           undef
  username                           undef
    
description => STRING
hostname => DOMAIN
The hostname of the described system. It is preferred to use full system names, not abbreviations. For instance, you can better use "www.tux.aq" than "www" to avoid confusion.
location => NICKNAME|OBJECT
The NICKNAME of a location which is defined for the same user. You can also specify a User::Identity::Location OBJECT.
name => STRING
os => STRING
The name of the operating system which is run on the server. It is advised to use the names as used by Perl's $^O variable. See the perlvar man-page for this variable, and perlport for the possible values.
parent => OBJECT
password => STRING
The password to be used to login. This password must be un-encoded: directly usable. Be warned that storing un-encoded passwords is a high security list.
username => STRING
The username to be used to login to this host.

Extends "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item.
$obj->description()
Inherited, see "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item
$obj->hostname()
$obj->location()
Returns the object which describes to which location this system relates. The location may be used to find the name of the organization involved, or to create a signature. If no location is specified, undef is returned.
$obj->name( [$newname] )

Error: $object is not a collection.
The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends User::Identity::Collection.
Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class).
Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns compilation errors. If the type as specified in the warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package which defines the nickname.
Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed.
The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class using the options you specified.
Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add.
If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options which can be used to create a collection object. In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified.
Warning: No collection $name
The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created.
