sys

Runtime, process and platform information.

Backend: native — stdlib/sys.so, built from stdlib/sys.cpp. Import: import("sys") → global.sys.*

Function	Signature	Notes
`platform`	`() -> str`	Host operating system: `linux`, `darwin`, `freebsd`, `netbsd`, `openbsd`, `dragonfly` or `win32`; otherwise `unknown`
`architecture`	`() -> str`	Canonical syscall architecture of this build: `amd64` or `arm64`; `""` otherwise. Pass with `platform()` to `syscalls(...)`
`cpuCount`	`() -> int`	Online processors (`0` when unknown)
`pageSize`	`() -> int`	Memory page size in bytes (`0` when unknown)
`memoryTotal`	`() -> int`	Total physical memory in bytes (`0` when unavailable)
`memoryAvailable`	`() -> int`	Available physical memory in bytes (`0` when unavailable)
`uptime`	`() -> int`	Seconds since boot (`0` when unavailable)
`bootTime`	`() -> int`	Boot time as a Unix timestamp (`0` when unavailable)
`loadAverage`	`() -> str`	JSON array `[1m, 5m, 15m]`; `[]` when unavailable
`version`	`() -> str`	Lynxer version, e.g. `Lynxer 0.1.8.4`
`versionInfo`	`() -> str`	JSON `{major, minor, micro, patch, releaselevel, serial}`
`implementation`	`() -> str`	`Lynxer`
`apiVersion`	`() -> str`	`0.1`
`isFrozen`	`() -> bool`	Always `false`
`getpid`	`() -> int`	Process id
`getMaxSize`	`() -> int`	Maximum value of `size_t`
`getByteOrder`	`() -> str`	`little` or `big`
`getDefaultEncoding`	`() -> str`	`utf-8`
`getFilesystemEncoding`	`() -> str`	`utf-8`
`isatty`	`() -> bool`	Whether stdout is a terminal
`stdinName` / `stdoutName`	`() -> str`	`<stdin>` / `<stdout>`
`executable`	`() -> str`	Path of the running executable, or `""` when the host does not expose it
`prefix` / `execPrefix`	`() -> str`	Directory containing the executable, or `""` when unavailable
`argv`	`() -> str`	The program's command line as a JSON array
`argCount`	`() -> int`	Number of program command-line entries
`getArg`	`(int index) -> str`	Entry at `index`, or `""`
`exit`	`(int code)`	Exits immediately with `code`
`exitOk` / `exitError`	`()`	Exits with `0` / `1`

Because Lynxer has no Python runtime, version() reports the Lynxer version and there is no sys.path, sys.modules or recursion-limit surface. argv describes the program's own command line: entry 0 is the script path (lynxer prog.lynx a b → ["prog.lynx", "a", "b"]), or the executable itself for a compiled program, followed by the arguments passed after it.

CPU/page-size/load-average queries use POSIX facilities; physical memory and boot-time values use the host's system-information interfaces on Linux and the supported BSD/macOS targets. Any unavailable host value uses the sentinel in the table rather than fabricating a result.

Example

global setup(){ import("sys"); }

global main(){
    println(global.sys.platform());
    println(global.sys.architecture());
    println(global.sys.version());
    println(global.sys.argCount());
}
