Methods
-------
deriveMachineType
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static MachineType deriveMachineType(String identifier)
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Tries to guess a machine type from a name returned by \ :java:ref:`getOsArchitecture()`\ .

   :param identifier: name of machine type, not \ ``null``\
   :return: guessed machine type, not \ ``null``\

deriveMachineTypeName
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static String deriveMachineTypeName(String identifier)
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Tries to determine a normalized machine type from a name returned by \ :java:ref:`getOsArchitecture()`\ .

   :param identifier: name of machine type, not \ ``null``\
   :return: guessed machine type, not \ ``null``\

deriveOsFamily
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static OsFamily deriveOsFamily(String identifier)
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Tries to determine the operating system family from a concrete operating system name returned by \ :java:ref:`getOsName()`\ .

   :param identifier: the concrete operating system name, not \ ``null``\
   :return: identified operating system family.

deriveOsFamilyName
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static String deriveOsFamilyName(String identifier)
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Tries to determine a normalized operating system family from a concrete operating system name returned by \ :java:ref:`getOsName()`\ .

   :param identifier: the concrete operating system name, not \ ``null``\
   :return: identified operating system family.

getLocalHostName
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static String getLocalHostName()
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Returns a host name derived from name resolution for localhost.

   :return: host name or \ ``null``\  if not detectable

getOsArchitecture
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static String getOsArchitecture()
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Returns the architecture of the operating system a process is being operated on.

   :return: non-empty name string, not \ ``null``\

getOsName
^^^^^^^^^

.. java:method:: public static String getOsName()
   :outertype: OsUtilities

   Returns the name of the operating system a process is currently being operated on.

   :return: a non-empty string
