Ulm's Modula-2 Library:
SysConf

NAME

SysConf - configuration parameters of the local installation

SYNOPSIS

PROCEDURE GetLibDir(VAR libdir: ARRAY OF CHAR);
PROCEDURE GetRelease(VAR release: ARRAY OF CHAR);

DESCRIPTION

SysConf allows to retrieve some of the configuration parameters of the local installation.

GetLibDir returns the directory where the Modula-2 compiler and the library have been installed to. Note that GetLibDir does not honour the MODLIB environment variable. Instead, it gives a reasonable default which should be taken if MODLIB is not given.

GetRelease returns a short string which specifies the release of the local Modula-2 installation.

FILES

The local library directory might be /usr/local/lib/modula.

BUGS

Note that these procedures return the parameters from the system on which your program has been compiled. Your program, however, may be run on quite a different system with another installation if any. For this reason, programs which depend on SysConf should be rebuild if they are to be installed on other systems with different parameters.
