A simple cross-platform way to get information about the currently running system.
## Examples
This simple example:
```rust
// examples/ex.rs
// * use `cargo run --example ex` to execute this example
// spell-checker:ignore (API) nodename osname sysname
use platform_info::*;
fn main() {
let info = PlatformInfo::new().expect("Unable to determine platform info");
// println!("info={:#?}", info);
println!("{}", info.sysname().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.nodename().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.release().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.version().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.machine().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.processor().to_string_lossy());
println!("{}", info.osname().to_string_lossy());
}
```
should display something like:
```text
Linux
hostname
5.10.0-8-amd64
#1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03)
x86_64
x86_64
GNU/Linux
```
> Using `cargo run --example ex` will build and execute this [example code](examples/ex.rs).
### WASI
To cross-compile and run the example under [WASI](https://wasi.dev/), first install
[wasmtime](https://wasmtime.dev/):
```shell
Then build and run:
```shell
cargo build --target wasm32-wasip1 --example ex
wasmtime target/wasm32-wasip1/debug/examples/ex.wasm
```
This should display:
```text
wasi
localhost
0.0.0
0.0.0
wasm32
wasm32
WASI
```
