\section{\class{wxPlatformInfo}}\label{wxplatforminfo}
This class holds informations about the operating system and the toolkit that the application
is running under and some basic architecture info of the machine where it's running.

The following are the operating systems which are recognized by wxWidgets
and whose version can be detected at run-time. The values of the constants
are chosen so that they can be combined as flags; this allows to check
for operating system {\it families} like e.g. wxOS\_MAC and wxOS\_UNIX.
\begin{verbatim}
enum wxOperatingSystemId
{
wxOS_UNKNOWN = 0, // returned on error
wxOS_MAC_OS = 1 << 0, // Apple Mac OS 8/9/X with Mac paths
wxOS_MAC_OSX_DARWIN = 1 << 1, // Apple Mac OS X with Unix paths
wxOS_MAC = wxOS_MAC_OS|wxOS_MAC_OSX_DARWIN,
wxOS_WINDOWS_9X = 1 << 2, // Windows 9x family (95/98/ME)
wxOS_WINDOWS_NT = 1 << 3, // Windows NT family (NT/2000/XP)
wxOS_WINDOWS_MICRO = 1 << 4, // MicroWindows
wxOS_WINDOWS_CE = 1 << 5, // Windows CE (Window Mobile)
wxOS_WINDOWS = wxOS_WINDOWS_9X |
wxOS_WINDOWS_NT |
wxOS_WINDOWS_MICRO |
wxOS_WINDOWS_CE,
wxOS_UNIX_LINUX = 1 << 6, // Linux
wxOS_UNIX_FREEBSD = 1 << 7, // FreeBSD
wxOS_UNIX_OPENBSD = 1 << 8, // OpenBSD
wxOS_UNIX_NETBSD = 1 << 9, // NetBSD
wxOS_UNIX_SOLARIS = 1 << 10, // SunOS
wxOS_UNIX_AIX = 1 << 11, // AIX
wxOS_UNIX_HPUX = 1 << 12, // HP/UX
wxOS_UNIX = wxOS_UNIX_LINUX |
wxOS_UNIX_FREEBSD |
wxOS_UNIX_OPENBSD |
wxOS_UNIX_NETBSD |

wxOS_UNIX_HPUX,
wxOS_DOS = 1 << 15, // Microsoft DOS
wxOS_OS2 = 1 << 16 // OS/2
};
\end{verbatim}
The list of wxWidgets ports. Some of them can be used with more than
a single (native) toolkit; e.g. wxWinCE port sources can be used with
smartphones, pocket PCs and handheld devices SDKs.
\begin{verbatim}
enum wxPortId
{
wxPORT_UNKNOWN = 0, // returned on error
wxPORT_BASE = 1 << 0, // wxBase, no native toolkit used
wxPORT_MSW = 1 << 1, // wxMSW, native toolkit is Windows API
wxPORT_MOTIF = 1 << 2, // wxMotif, using [Open]Motif or Lesstif
wxPORT_GTK = 1 << 3, // wxGTK, using GTK+ 1.x, 2.x, GPE or Maemo
wxPORT_MGL = 1 << 4, // wxMGL, using wxUniversal
wxPORT_X11 = 1 << 5, // wxX11, using wxUniversal
wxPORT_OS2 = 1 << 6, // wxOS2, using OS/2 Presentation Manager
wxPORT_MAC = 1 << 7, // wxMac, using Carbon or Classic Mac API
wxPORT_COCOA = 1 << 8, // wxCocoa, using Cocoa NextStep/Mac API
wxPORT_WINCE = 1 << 9, // wxWinCE, toolkit is WinCE SDK API
wxPORT_PALMOS = 1 << 10, // wxPalmOS, toolkit is PalmOS API
wxPORT_DFB = 1 << 11 // wxDFB, using wxUniversal
};
\end{verbatim}
The architecture of the operating system (regardless of the build environment
of wxWidgets library - see \helpref{wxIsPlatform64bit}{wxisplatform64bit} documentation
for more info).
\begin{verbatim}
enum wxArchitecture
{
wxARCH_INVALID = -1, // returned on error
wxARCH_32, // 32 bit
wxARCH_64,
wxARCH_MAX
}
\end{verbatim}
The endian-ness of the machine.
\begin{verbatim}

wxENDIAN_INVALID = -1, // returned on error
wxENDIAN_BIG, // 4321
wxENDIAN_LITTLE, // 1234
wxENDIAN_PDP, // 3412
