102.Operating System Information

102.1 Overview

The OsScan class provides a unified API for retrieving detailed information about the current operating system and runtime environment. It abstracts low-level platform queries into a single structured model that can be used for diagnostics, logging, system profiling, and environment inspection.

---

102.2 Supported Platforms

• Windows
• Linux
• macOS (OSX)

Platform support depends on the availability of operating system information provided by the underlying operating system.

---

102.3 Creating an OS Scanner

To retrieve system information, create an instance of OsScan.

var scanner = new OsScan();

---

102.4 Retrieving OS Information

Use the OsExtract() method to obtain a complete snapshot of the current system environment.

var os = new OsScan().OsExtract();

Console.WriteLine(os.OSName);

102.6 Exceptions

This API does not throw any exceptions under normal conditions.

All values are retrieved using safe system calls with fallback handling where necessary.

102.7 Notes

• Values are snapshot-based and may change during runtime.
• On some restricted environments (e.g., containers or sandboxed systems), certain properties may return default or limited values.
• This module is designed for diagnostics and environment awareness, not for system modification.
