Platform::Properties

This module provides information about the underlying platform (OS, architecture etc.) that Converge is running on. The following attributes are defined:

BIG_ENDIAN:

LITTLE_ENDIAN:

case_sensitive_filenames: Set to 1 if the underlying platform generally uses case sensitive filenames, or 0 otherwise. Note that this does not guarantee that specific file systems will respect this setting.

endianness: Currently set to either BIG_ENDIAN or LITTLE_ENDIAN as appropriate.

osname: The name of the operating system.

word_bits: Integer value of the number of bits in a machine word.
