    };

    use Mac::Apps::Seasonality::Constants qw{ :all };
    use Mac::Apps::Seasonality::Constants qw{ :application };
    use Mac::Apps::Seasonality::Constants qw{ :database };
    use Mac::Apps::Seasonality::Constants qw{ :data };

DESCRIPTION

This provides static metadata about Seasonality via ``constants''. The exposed values are made immutable via the Readonly manpage and not the constant manpage, so they are usable within string interpolation, etc.

None of the values are exported by default to avoid the possibility of name clashes, though the names should be unique enough for most uses. Each value must individually be imported or with one of the following tags:

:all: All constants.
:application: The application name and creator code. The name of and default path to the weather history database.
:database: The database table and column names.
:data: The missing data indicator value and the limits on each type of data.

INTERFACE

General Information

$SEASONALITY_NAME: The name of the application. Defined so that there's one central place for this in case it needs to be enhanced/changed in the future.
$SEASONALITY_CREATOR: The MacOS creator code for the application.

Database and Tables

$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_DATABASE_NAME: The name of the SQLite database file that the historical data is stored in. Note that this is just the basename, and does not contain any path components.
$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_DATABASE_PATH: The path of the default location of the SQLite database file that the historical data is stored in.
$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_TABLE: The name of the database table that the historical ICAO data is stored in.
$SEASONALITY_DB_STATUS_TABLE: The name of the database table that the overall database health is kept in.

Table Columns

$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_ICAO, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_DATE, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_WIND_DIRECTION, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_WIND_SPEED_KNOTS, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_GUST_SPEED_KNOTS, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_VISIBILITY_MILES, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_TEMPERATURE_C, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_DEWPOINT_C, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_PRESSURE_HPA, $SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_RELATIVE_HUMIDITY: The individual column names in the history table.
$SEASONALITY_DB_STATUS_COLUMN_NEW_RECORDS_SINCE_VACUUM: The individual column names in the database status table.
$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMNS_REF: Reference to an array of the names of the history table columns, in database schema order.
$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_NUMBERS_BY_COLUMN_NAME_REF: Reference to a hash mapping from column numbers to history column names.
$SEASONALITY_HISTORY_COLUMN_NAMES_BY_COLUMN_NUMBER_REF: Reference to a hash mapping from history column names to column numbers.

Data Limits

$SEASONALITY_INVALID_DATA: The numeric value that is used to denote the data from the source is missing or invalid.
$SEASONALITY_ICAO_MINIMUM_LENGTH, $SEASONALITY_ICAO_MAXIMUM_LENGTH: The range of valid sizes for ICAOs.
$SEASONALITY_TEMPERATURE_MINIMUM, $SEASONALITY_TEMPERATURE_MAXIMUM: The range of valid temperatures, in °C.
$SEASONALITY_WIND_DIRECTION_MINIMUM, $SEASONALITY_WIND_DIRECTION_MAXIMUM: The range of valid wind directions, in compass degrees. -1 indicates ``variable''.
$SEASONALITY_WIND_SPEED_MINIMUM, $SEASONALITY_WIND_SPEED_MAXIMUM: The range of valid wind speeds, in knots.
$SEASONALITY_VISIBILITY_MINIMUM, $SEASONALITY_VISIBILITY_MAXIMUM: The range of valid visibilities, in miles.
$SEASONALITY_PRESSURE_MINIMUM, $SEASONALITY_PRESSURE_MAXIMUM: The range of valid atmospheric pressures, in millibars/heptopascals.

DIAGNOSTICS
