Method Detail

getFamily

@Nullable
public OsFamily getFamily()

Type of the operating system

generally, this is used to compare the means by which you use an operating system. For example, to determine compatibility of a particular bootstrapping or package installation approach.

getName

@Nullable
public String getName()

name of the operating system; ex. Red Hat Enterprise Linux

note

While this looks similar to, and may in some cases be the same as the java system property os.name it isn't guaranteed to match a particular value. For example, this value could be derived from data parsed for a cloud api or the OVF CIM OSType enum value;

Returns:

operating system name or null if it couldn't be determined.

getArch

@Nullable
public String getArch()

architecture of the operating system; ex. x86_64

generally, this is used to decide whether an operating system will run certain binaries, for example, a 64bit JDK.

note

While this looks similar to, and may in some cases be the same as the java system property os.arch it isn't guaranteed to match a particular value. For example, this value could be derived from data parsed for a cloud api or the OVF CIM OSType enum value;

Returns:

operating system architecture or null if it couldn't be determined.

getVersion

@Nullable
public String getVersion()

version of the operating system; ex. 10.0.4

generally, this is used to compare versions of the same operating system name. It should be meaningful when sorted against, although this isn't necessary.

note

While this looks similar to, and may in some cases be the same as the java system property os.version it isn't guaranteed to match a particular value. For example, this value could be derived from data parsed for a cloud api or the OVF CIM OSType enum value;

Returns:

operating system version or null if it couldn't be determined.

getDescription

public String getDescription()

description of the operating system; ex. CentOS 32-bit,Other Linux (32-bit)

This is the only required field in the operating system object. In some implementations, it is this data that is used to parse the value of the name, version, and arch fields.

Returns:

operating system description

is64Bit

public boolean is64Bit()

Returns:

whether this operating system supports 64 bit computation.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
