Cross platform system information

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message 

I have an application that I'm working on that needs to be cross-platform, 
and needs to be able to detect which version of an OS it's running on
(Windows 98, XP, or Vista, or Linux 2.4.x or 2.6.x).  It also needs to be
able to detect the logged in username if possible.  I know I can write a
fairly lengthy function using platform() and lots of if's to do this; but
it might be nice if uname(), a fairly standard C function, were built in as
a machine_func. Any ideas?
