By default the current OS is used, but you can supply a custom [Darwin kernel version](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_%28operating_system%29#Release_history), which is the output of [`os.release()`](http://nodejs.org/api/os.html#os_os_release).

```sh
$ osx-release --help
Usage
osx-release [release]
