Enum Class OperatingSystems

java.lang.Enum<OperatingSystems>
dev.hydraulic.types.machines.OperatingSystems
All Implemented Interfaces:
MachineCompatibilityAspect, OperatingSystem, Serializable, Comparable<OperatingSystems>, Constable
public enum OperatingSystems extends Enum<OperatingSystems> implements OperatingSystem

An enumeration of well known, actively used operating systems.

This enum doesn't express information about sub-flavors of each OS, for example, it doesn't express what version, distribution, CPU architecture or (for Linux) C library is in use. To include these things use the Machine type instead.

The enum names here prefer to match the capitalization of the brand name rather than the capitalization rules for normal Java identifiers.

For ChromeOS and Android the vendor is listed as Google, even though technically the vendor could also be considered as the hardware vendor.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • Linux

      public static final OperatingSystems Linux
      Any desktop/server/embedded Linux distribution that isn't more accurately described by one of the other entries.

    • macOS

      public static final OperatingSystems macOS
      Apple macOS 10+. The identifier is mac and aliases are macos, osx and darwin. Although a pure Darwin system isn't technically the same as macOS, in practice nobody runs pure Darwin and thus it's always used as an alias for macOS.

    • Windows

      public static final OperatingSystems Windows
      Microsoft Windows. Aliases are win, win32 and win64.

    • Android

      public static final OperatingSystems Android
      Any OS that is able to legally use the Android trademark, meaning it either has passed the compliance tests or would definitely do if it were allowed. The vendor is "Google", not "Open source" or the actual distribution vendor and there are no aliases.

    • iOS

      public static final OperatingSystems iOS
      Apple's iconic mobile operating system. Also known as iphoneos.

    • iPadOS

      public static final OperatingSystems iPadOS
      The variant of iOS that runs on iPads. Not exactly the same and branded differently.

    • tvOS

      public static final OperatingSystems tvOS
      Apple TV's operating system. No aliases.

    • watchOS

      public static final OperatingSystems watchOS
      Apple Watch's operating system. No aliases.

    • FreeBSD

      public static final OperatingSystems FreeBSD
      FreeBSD.

    • NetBSD

      public static final OperatingSystems OpenBSD
      OpenBSD

    • ChromeOS

      public static final OperatingSystems ChromeOS
      Google ChromeOS. The vendor is "Google" not "Open source". Also known as cros.

    • Solaris

      public static final OperatingSystems Solaris
      Solaris and any derivatives. The vendor is "Open source". Also known as illumos.

    • zOS

      public static final OperatingSystems zOS
      IBM zOS, a mainframe operating system. Also known as z/os.

    • UNKNOWN

      public static final OperatingSystems UNKNOWN
      Any other operating system that isn't known by this list. The vendor is "Unknown" and it's aliased by "unknown" and "other".

  • Field Details

    • ALIAS_MAP

      public static final Map<String,OperatingSystem> ALIAS_MAP
      An unmodifiable map of lower case names and aliases of well known operating systems.

    • valueOf

      public static OperatingSystems valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
