Why do we have to promisify getos ???

[FabriceSalvaire]

Sorry, but I am trying to figure out why I have to "promisify" getos:

import _getOs from 'getos'
import util from 'node:util'
const getOs = util.promisify(_getOs)

Else I got an undefined value.
I suspect an async issue.

It looks like it is https://github.com/caolan/async

I guess the getos code should be modernized and the doc updated.
Look at https://www.npmjs.com/package/modern-async

Aye, async await was added to nodejs in 2017

This module was written in 2014

The code here is "boring" and "works" for the 6M downloads per week

If you want to create a variant that wraps the callbacks in a modern API I'd merge the MR. But it can't be a breaking change, the new API would need to be exposed up alongside the old.
