GetOS Function

Format

i = getos(『detailed_information』);

Description

The getos function returns a code that indicates what operating system is running the program. The codes are:

Code	Operating System

An optional alphanumeric variable detailed_information can be passed to the function that will give detailed information on the operating system, including the operating system name and the version number.

Return Value

The function returns the operating system code or, optionally, a text description of the operating system.

string operating_system_name;
getos(operating_system_name);

errmsg("Code = %d, Text = %s", getos(), operating_system_name);

// the above code might display, for example:
// Code = 10, Text = Windows;6.1
// Code = 20, Text = Android;4.2.2
