sysreqs_db_match {pkgdepends}

Match system requirement descriptions to the database

Description

In the usual workflow pkgdepends matches the SystemRequirements fields of the DESCRIPTION files to the database.

Usage

sysreqs_db_match(specs, sysreqs_platform = NULL)

Arguments

specs

Character vector of system requirements descriptions.

sysreqs_platform

System requirements platform. If NULL, then the sysreqs_platform configuration option is used, which defaults to the current platform. Set this option if pkgdepends does not detect your platform correctly.

Details

The sysreqs_db_match() function lets you match any string, and it is mainly useful for debugging.

Value

Data frame with columns:

• spec: the input specs.

• sysreq: name of the system library or tool.

• packages: system packages, list column of character vectors. Rarely it can be an empty string, e.g. if a pre_install script performs the installation.

• pre_install: list column of character vectors. Shell script(s) to run before the installation.

• post_install: list column of character vectors. Shell script(s) to run after the installation.
