platformids

===========



**REMARK**: This is a nighlty build with some minor issues, the final is following within a these days.



The ‘platformids‘ package provides the categorization and enumeration of OS platforms and

distributions.



This enables the development of portable generic code for arbitrary platforms in IT and

IoT landscapes consisting of heterogeneous physical and virtual runtime environments.



The introduced hierarchical bitmask vectors enable for fast and efficient platform specific

code and data selection for OS and distributions with routines for specific platform releases. 



The supported version numbering comprise various release schemes such as classical

version numbers with variable segments and optional release names,



	AlpineLinux-3.8.1

	CentOS-6.10

	Debian-9.6

	Fedora31

	OS-X-10.6.8

	Ubuntu-18.04

	armbian-5.76

	cygwin-2.9.0

	opensuse-15.1

	opensuse-42.3

	raspbian-9.4

	slackware-14.2

	solaris-11.3



variations of numbering schemes,



	CentOS-7.5-1804

	CentOS-7.6-1810

	NT-6.3.9600

	NT-6.1.7601

	NT-5.1.2600



as well as various numbering schemes for continuous

deployment including the numbering schemes of Windows releases.



	archlinux-2018.12.01

	kali-linux-2019-W11

	kali-linux-2019.1

	NT-10.0.1809

	NT-10.0.1806
