<h1>os<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os" id="os_os">#</a></span></h1>
<pre class="api_stability_4">Stability: 4 - API Frozen</pre><p>Provides a few basic operating-system related utility functions.
</p>
<p>Use <code>require('os')</code> to access this module.
</p>
<h2>os.tmpdir()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_tmpdir" id="os_os_tmpdir">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the operating system's default directory for temp files.
</p>
<h2>os.endianness()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_endianness" id="os_os_endianness">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the endianness of the CPU. Possible values are <code>"BE"</code> or <code>"LE"</code>.
</p>
<h2>os.hostname()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_hostname" id="os_os_hostname">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the hostname of the operating system.
</p>
<h2>os.type()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_type" id="os_os_type">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the operating system name.
</p>
<h2>os.platform()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_platform" id="os_os_platform">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the operating system platform.
</p>
<h2>os.arch()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_arch" id="os_os_arch">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the operating system CPU architecture.
</p>
<h2>os.release()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_release" id="os_os_release">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the operating system release.
</p>
<h2>os.uptime()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_uptime" id="os_os_uptime">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the system uptime in seconds.
</p>
<h2>os.loadavg()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_loadavg" id="os_os_loadavg">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns an array containing the 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages.
</p>
<p>The load average is a measure of system activity, calculated by the operating
system and expressed as a fractional number. As a rule of thumb, the load
average should ideally be less than the number of logical CPUs in the system.
</p>
<p>The load average is a very UNIX-y concept; there is no real equivalent on
Windows platforms. That is why this function always returns <code>[0, 0, 0]</code> on
Windows.
</p>
<h2>os.totalmem()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_totalmem" id="os_os_totalmem">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the total amount of system memory in bytes.
</p>
<h2>os.freemem()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_freemem" id="os_os_freemem">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns the amount of free system memory in bytes.
</p>
<h2>os.cpus()<span><a class="mark" href="#os_os_cpus" id="os_os_cpus">#</a></span></h2>
<p>Returns an array of objects containing information about each CPU/core
installed: model, speed (in MHz), and times (an object containing the number of
milliseconds the CPU/core spent in: user, nice, sys, idle, and irq).
</p>
<p>Example inspection of os.cpus:
