Identify the currently targeted operating system.

id = os.get()

Parameters

None.

Return Value

An operating system identifier; see system() for a complete list of identifiers.

Note that this function returns the OS being targeted, which is not necessarily the same as the OS on which Premake is being run. If you are running on Mac OS X and generating Visual Studio project files, the identifier is "Windows", since that is the OS being targeted by the Visual Studio action.

Availability

Premake 4.0 or later.

Examples

if os.get() == "windows" then
   -- do something Windows-specific
end
