NAME
       Dpkg::Arch - handle architectures

DESCRIPTION
       The Dpkg::Arch module provides functions to handle Debian
       architectures, wildcards, and mapping from and to GNU triplets.

       No symbols are exported by default. The :all tag can be used to import
       all symbols. The :getters, :parsers, :mappers and :operators tags can
       be used to import specific symbol subsets.

FUNCTIONS
       $arch = get_raw_build_arch()
	   Get the raw build Debian architecture, without taking into account
	   variables from the environment.

       $arch = get_build_arch()
	   Get the build Debian architecture, using DEB_BUILD_ARCH from the
	   environment if available.

       $arch = get_raw_host_arch()
	   Get the raw host Debian architecture, without taking into account
	   variables from the environment.

       $arch = get_host_arch()
	   Get the host Debian architecture, using DEB_HOST_ARCH from the
	   environment if available.

       @arch_list = get_valid_arches()
	   Get an array with all currently known Debian architectures.

       $multiarch = gnutriplet_to_multiarch($gnutriplet)
	   Map a GNU triplet into a Debian multiarch triplet.

       $multiarch = debarch_to_multiarch($arch)
	   Map a Debian architecture into a Debian multiarch triplet.

       $gnutriplet = debarch_to_gnutriplet($arch)
	   Map a Debian architecture into a GNU triplet.

       $arch = gnutriplet_to_debarch($gnutriplet)
	   Map a GNU triplet into a Debian architecture.

       $bool = debarch_eq($arch_a, $arch_b)
	   Evaluate the equality of a Debian architecture, by comparing with
	   another Debian architecture. No wildcard matching is performed.

       $bool = debarch_is($arch, $arch_wildcard)
	   Evaluate the identity of a Debian architecture, by matching with an
	   architecture wildcard.

       $bool = debarch_is_wildcard($arch)
	   Evaluate whether a Debian architecture is an architecture wildcard.

       $bool = debarch_is_illegal($arch)
	   Validate an architecture name.

       $bool = debarch_is_concerned($arch, @arches)
	   Evaluate whether a Debian architecture applies to the list of
	   architecture restrictions, as usually found in dependencies inside
	   square brackets.

       @array = debarch_list_parse($arch_list, %options)
	   Parse an architecture list.
