	   keys    Array reference of the columns of the match - in order of paranteses in regular expression.

	   special Array reference containing the names of the special file system types.

	   lines   Array containing the lines to parse.

       readSwap
	   This method is called to parse the information from the swap status.  It expects following arguments:

NAME

       AppConfig::Sys - Perl5 module defining platform-specific information and methods for other AppConfig::* modules.

SYNOPSIS

	   use AppConfig::Sys;
	   my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();

	   @fields = $sys->getpwuid($userid);
	   @fields = $sys->getpwnam($username);

OVERVIEW

       AppConfig::Sys is a Perl5 module provides platform-specific information and operations as required by other AppConfig::* modules.

       AppConfig::Sys is distributed as part of the AppConfig bundle.

DESCRIPTION

   USING THE AppConfig::Sys MODULE
       To import and use the AppConfig::Sys module the following line should appear in your Perl script:

	    use AppConfig::Sys;

       AppConfig::Sys is implemented using object-oriented methods.  A new AppConfig::Sys object is created and initialised using the
       AppConfig::Sys->new() method.  This returns a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object.

	   my $sys = AppConfig::Sys->new();

       This will attempt to detect your operating system and create a reference to a new AppConfig::Sys object that is applicable to your
       platform.  You may explicitly specify an operating system name to override this automatic detection:

	   $unix_sys = AppConfig::Sys->new("Unix");

       Alternatively, the package variable $AppConfig::Sys::OS can be set to an operating system name.	The valid operating system names are:
       Win32, VMS, Mac, OS2 and Unix.  They are not case-specific.

   AppConfig::Sys METHODS
       AppConfig::Sys defines the following methods:

       getpwnam()
	   Calls the system function getpwnam() if available and returns the result.  Returns undef if not available.  The can_getpwnam() method
	   can be called to determine if this function is available.

       getpwuid()
	   Calls the system function getpwuid() if available and returns the result.  Returns undef if not available.  The can_getpwuid() method
	   can be called to determine if this function is available.
