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)

smartphones, pocket PCs and handheld devices SDKs.

of wxWidgets library - see \helpref { wxIsPlatform64bit} { wxisplatform64bit} documentation
