The code for writing this file lives in +:py:mod:`mozbuild.mozinfo`. + +``mozinfo.json`` is an object/dictionary of simple string values. + +The attributes in ``mozinfo.json`` are used for many purposes. One use +is to filter tests for applicability to the current build. For more on +this, see :ref:`test_manifests`. + +.. _mozinfo_attributes: + +mozinfo.json Attributes +================================= + +``mozinfo`` currently records the following attributes. + +appname + The application being built. + + Value comes from ``MOZ_APP_NAME`` from ``config.status``. + + Optional. + +asan + Whether address sanitization is enabled. + + Values are ``true`` and ``false``. + + Always defined. + +bin_suffix + The file suffix for binaries produced with this build. + + Values may be an empty string, as not all platforms have a binary + suffix. + + Always defined. + +bits + The number of bits in the CPU this build targets. + + Values are typically ``32`` or ``64``. + + Universal Mac builds do not have this key defined. + + Unknown processor architectures (see ``processor`` below) may not have + this key defined. + + Optional. + +buildapp + The path to the XUL application being built. + + For desktop Firefox, this is ``browser``.
