OS (core 3.0.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<OS>
- - jlibs.core.lang.OS

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<OS>
```
public enum OS
extends Enum<OS>
```
This enum contains values for each type of OS.
To get the current OS:
```
 OS myos = OS.get();
 System.out.println(myos);
 
```
To check whether your OS is windows or unix;
```
 OS myos = OS.get();
 System.out.println("isWindows: "+myos.isWindows());
 System.out.println("isUnix: "+myos.isUnix());
 
```
When your OS is not recognized, OS.get() returns OS.OTHER
There is another usefult method which might be required rarely;
```
 String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
 OS os = OS.get(osName);
 
```
This might be handy, if your app is distributed and and want to find out the os of remote JVM process

```
public static OS[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (OS c : OS.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static OS valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - isWindows
```
public boolean isWindows()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this OS belongs to windows family
  - isUnix
```
public boolean isUnix()
```
    Returns:
    
    true if this OS belongs to *nix family
  - get
```
public static OS get(String osName)
```
    Parameters:
    
    osName - name of OS as returned by System.getProperty("os.name")
    
    Returns:
    
    OS for the specified osName
  - get
```
public static OS get()
```
    Returns:
    
    OS on which this JVM is running
