Introduction

       The platform: module provides access to the platform’s identifying data.

Variables

   $platform:arch {#platform:arch}
       The  architecture of the platform; e.g.  amd64, arm, ppc.  This corresponds to Go’s GOARCH
       (https://pkg.go.dev/runtime?tab=doc#pkg-constants) constant.  This is read-only.

   $platform:is-unix {#platform:is-unix}
       Whether or not the platform is UNIX-like.  This includes Linux, macOS  (Darwin),  FreeBSD,
       NetBSD,  and  OpenBSD.   This  can  be  used to decide, for example, if the unix module is
       usable.  This is read-only.

   $platform:is-windows {#platform:is-windows}
       Whether or not the platform is Microsoft Windows.  This is read-only.

   $platform:os {#platform:os}
       The name of the operating system; e.g.  darwin (macOS), linux, etc.  This  corresponds  to
       Go’s GOOS (https://pkg.go.dev/runtime?tab=doc#pkg-constants) constant.  This is read-only.

Functions

   platform:hostname {#platform:hostname}
              platform:hostname &strip-domain=$false

       Outputs the hostname of the system.  If the option &strip-domain is $true, strips the part
       after the first dot.

       This function throws an exception if it cannot determine the hostname.  It is  implemented
       using Go’s os.Hostname (https://golang.org/pkg/os/#Hostname).

       Examples:

              ~> platform:hostname
              ▶ lothlorien.elv.sh
              ~> platform:hostname &strip-domain=$true
              ▶ lothlorien
