Introduction
The platform:
module provides access to the platform’s identifying data.
Variables
$platform:arch
The architecture of the platform; e.g. amd64, arm, ppc. This corresponds to Go’s GOARCH
constant. This is read-only.
$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
Whether or not the platform is Microsoft Windows. This is read-only.
$platform:os
The name of the operating system; e.g. darwin (macOS), linux, etc. This corresponds to Go’s GOOS
constant. This is read-only.
Functions
platform:hostname
platform:hostname &strip-domain=$false
Outputs the hostname of the system. If the option &strip-domain
is $true
, strips the part after the first dot.
This function throws an exception if it cannot determine the hostname. It is implemented using Go’s os.Hostname
.
Examples:
~> platform:hostname
▶ lothlorien.elv.sh
~> platform:hostname &strip-domain=$true
▶ lothlorien
