Usage With **TTY::Platform** you can find out the properties of your operating system by creating an instance: ```ruby platform = TTY::Platform.new ``` To query for processor name use `cpu` method: ```ruby platform.cpu # => 'x86_64' ``` A `nil` is returned if the value cannot be determined. To get the system/OS name use `os` method: ```ruby platform.os # => 'darwin' ``` A `nil` is returned if the value cannot be determined. To get system's release version use `version` method: ```ruby platform.version # => '10.6.1' ``` A `nil` is returned. Note that many platforms do not provide this information. In addition, you can use more generic methods to check the type of operating system out of `windows`, `linux`, `mac` and `unix`: ```ruby platform.windows? # => false platform.unix? # => true platform.linux? # => false platform.mac? # => true ``` ## Contributing 1.
