property Process.platform

Usage in Deno

import { type Process } from "node:process";

The process.platform property returns a string identifying the operating system platform for which the Node.js binary was compiled.

Currently possible values are:

  • 'aix'
  • 'darwin'
  • 'freebsd'
  • 'linux'
  • 'openbsd'
  • 'sunos'
  • 'win32'
import { platform } from 'node:process';

console.log(`This platform is ${platform}`);

The value 'android' may also be returned if the Node.js is built on the Android operating system. However, Android support in Node.js is experimental.
