- Foundation/NSProcessInfo.h
Availability: OpenStep
Instances of this class encapsulate information on
the current process. For example, you can get the
arguments, environment variables, host name, or
process name. There is only one instance per process,
for obvious reasons, and it may be obtained through the
+processInfo
method.
+ (
NSProcessInfo*)
processInfo;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the shared NSProcessInfo object for the
current process.
- (
NSUInteger)
activeProcessorCount;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.5.0
Not implemented
- (
NSArray*)
arguments;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns an array containing the arguments supplied
to start this process.
NB. In GNUstep, any
arguments of the form --GNU-Debug=... are
not included in this array... they are part
of the debug mechanism, and are hidden so that setting
debug variables will not effect the normal operation
of the program.
Please note, the special
--GNU-Debug=... syntax differs from
that which is used to specify values for the
NSUserDefaults
system.
User defaults are set on the
command line by specifying the default name (with
a leading hyphen) as one argument, and the default
value as the following argument. The arguments used
to set user defaults are present in the array returned
by this method.

- (
NSDictionary*)
environment;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns a dictionary giving the environment
variables which were provided for the process to
use.
- (
NSString*)
globallyUniqueString;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns a string which may be used as a globally
unique identifier.
The string contains the
host name, the process ID, a timestamp and a counter.
The first three values identify the process
in which the string is generated, while the fourth
ensures that multiple strings generated within the
same process are unique.
- (
NSString*)
hostName;
Availability: OpenStep
Returns the name of the machine on which this
process is running.
- (
NSUInteger)
operatingSystem;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Return a number representing the operating system
type.
The known types are listed in the header
file, but not all of the listed types are actually
implemented... some are present for MacOS-X
compatibility only.

NSWindowsNTOperatingSystem -
used for Windows NT, and later
-

NSMACHOperatingSystem - MacOSX
and perhaps Hurd in future?
-
NSSunOSOperatingSystem - Used
for Sun Sun/OS
-
NSOSF1OperatingSystem - Used for

operatingSystemName;
Availability: MacOS-X 10.0.0
Return a human readable string representing the
operating system type.
