OS detection

[Samprayoga]

Hello,

I would like to know how to detect the OS by using C++.

Thanks for help.

There's no standard function that does that. In some cases, you can use
getenv() to retrieve an environment variable that stores the current
OS's name and version. In other cases, you can use a compile-time macro,
e.g.,
#ifdef SOLARIS
cout<<"Using Solaris";
#endif
