HPUX::Ioscan 1.010

HPUX::Ioscan is a Perl function to handle HPUX ioscan command.

SYNOPSIS

use HPUX::Ioscan ;
my $result = ioscan ();

print "All hardware paths: ", join(" ", keys %$result),"n";

print "One device file of disk :n",
$result->{2/1.6.0}{device_files}[0],
"n";

This module works on top of the HP-UX command ioscan. It forks a process to run the ioscan command and parses its STDOUT. The result is returned in a hash.

This module is quite basic but it may be interesting if you need to write administration program on HP-UX.

You may call ioscan several time in your program without any problem sicne the result is cached. Only the first call to ioscan will actually run the ioscan command. (But you may override the caching of the result)
