#!/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 appended
# 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^^}
