A simple cross-platform way to get information about the currently running system.

## Examples

This simple example:

```rust

// examples/ex.rs

// * use `cargo run --example ex` to execute this example

// spell-checker:ignore (API) nodename osname sysname

use platform_info::*;

fn main() {

    let info = PlatformInfo::new().expect("Unable to determine platform info");

    // println!("info={:#?}", info);

    println!("{}", info.sysname().to_string_lossy());

    println!("{}", info.nodename().to_string_lossy());

    println!("{}", info.release().to_string_lossy());

    println!("{}", info.version().to_string_lossy());

    println!("{}", info.machine().to_string_lossy());

    println!("{}", info.osname().to_string_lossy());

}

```

should display something like:

```text

Linux

hostname

5.10.0-8-amd64

#1 SMP Debian 5.10.46-4 (2021-08-03)

x86_64

GNU/Linux

```

> Using `cargo run --example ex` will build and execute this [example code](examples/ex.rs).
