GetOS Function

Format
i = getos(ʃdetailed_informationʅ);
Description
The getos function returns a code that indicates what operating system is running the program. The codes are:
CodeOperating System
10Windows
20Android
It is also possible to get more detailed information about the operating system. If the optional argument detailed_information is a string variable, the string will be filled with the operating system name and the version number. Alternatively, if passed a one-dimensional string hashmap, the hashmap will be filled with several values:
KeyValue
"name"Name (e.g., "Windows")
"version"Version number (e.g., "10.0")
"build"Build number (Windows only; e.g., "22000")
Windows version numbers do not necessarily match the official release numbers. For example, Windows 8.1 has a version number of 6.3.
Return Value
The function returns the operating system code and, optionally, more details about the operating system.
Example
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
