bin/select_version

#!/bin/bash

# This script is a wrapper for programs that may have alternate versions
# (e.g. python2, python3).  This wrapper allows the user to influence the
# selection of the program version by setting the <program name>_VERSION (e.g.
# PYTHON_VERSION, ROBOT_VERSION, etc.) environment variable.

# Users would be expected to create a link with the base name of the program
# that points to this file.

# Example:
# cd openbmc-test-automation/bin
# ln -s select_version python

# The PATH variable should contain the expanded path to
# openbmc-test-automation/bin.

# If <program name>_VERSION is blank or not set, then the program version
# will be whatever the system default program version is.  If <program
# name>_VERSION is set to a value, then that value will be appened to the name
# of the program (e.g. if PYTHON_VERSION = "3", then python3 will be used.).
# If <program name>_VERSION is set to some value that does not correspond to a
# valid program version for the given system, this program will fail.


# Make sure program_name is set.
program_name="${0##*/}"
program_uppercase_name=${program_name^^}
