Category

interface Category : Named(source)

This attribute describes the categories of variants for a given module.

Four values are found in published components:

library: Indicates that the variant is a library, that usually means a binary and a set of dependencies
platform: Indicates that the variant is a platform, that usually means a definition of dependency constraints
documentation: Indicates that the variant is documentation of the software module
verification: Indicates that the variant is output from a testing or code quality verification tool

One value is used for derivation. A platform variant can be consumed as a enforced-platform which means all the dependency information it provides is applied as forced.
