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_SOLARIS | wxOS_UNIX_AIX | 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} enum wxEndianness { wxENDIAN_INVALID = -1, // returned on error wxENDIAN_BIG, // 4321 wxENDIAN_LITTLE, // 1234 wxENDIAN_PDP, // 3412 wxENDIAN_MAX } \end{verbatim} \latexignore{\rtfignore{\wxheading{Members}}} \membersection{wxPlatformInfo::wxPlatformInfo}\label{wxplatforminfowxplatforminfo} \func{}{wxPlatformInfo}{} Initializes the instance with the values corresponding to the currently running platform.
