NAME

RPi::SysInfo - Retrieve hardware system information from a Raspberry Pi

DESCRIPTION

Fetch live-time and other system information from a Raspberry Pi.

Most functions will work equally as well on Unix/Linux systems.

SYNOPSIS

# Object Oriented

use RPi::SysInfo;

my $sys = RPi::SysInfo->new;
say $sys->cpu_percent;
say $sys->mem_percent;
say $sys->core_temp;

# Functional

use RPi::SysInfo qw(:all);

say cpu_percent();
say mem_percent();
say core_temp();

EXPORT_OK

Functions are not exported by default. You can load them each by name:

cpu_percent
mem_percent
core_temp
gpio_info
raspi_config
network_info
file_system
pi_details

...or use the :all tag to bring them all in at once.

FUNCTIONS/METHODS

new

Instantiates and returns a new RPi::SysInfo object.

Takes no parameters.

cpu_percent

Returns the percentage of current CPU usage.

Takes no parameters.

Return: Two decimal floating point number.

mem_percent

Returns the percentage of physical RAM currently in use.

Takes no parameters.

Return: Two decimal floating point number.

core_temp($scale)

Returns the core CPU temperature of the system.

Parameters:

$scale

Optional, String: By default we return the temperature in Celcius. Simply send in the letter f to get the result returned in Fahrenheit.

Return: Two decimal place floating point number.

gpio_info([$pins])

Fetches the current configuration and status of one or many GPIO pins.

Parameters:

$pins

Optional, Aref of Integers: By default, we'll return the information for all GPIO pins on the system. Send in an aref of pin numbers and well fetch the data for only those pins (eg: gpio_info[1] or gpio_info([2, 4, 6, 8])).

Return: Single string containing all of the data requested.

raspi_config

Feteches the directive names and values the Pi is configured with.

Takes no parameters.

Return: String, the contents of the current configuration.

file_system

Fetches and returns various file system information as a string.

network_info

Fetches and returns the Pi's network configuration details as a string.

pi_details

Fetches and returns various information about the Pi, including the OS info, along with several hardware platform details as a string.

PRIVATE FUNCTIONS/METHODS

_format($float)

Formats a float/double value to two decimal places.

Parameters:

$float

Mandatory, Float/Double: The number to format.
