Java program codes: Operating System Information

Operating System Information

In this example we are learn how we can get information about our operation system. In this example we are getting the OS name, its version and architecture of OS. We are using getProperty(String key)  to get the property of the OS. To get OS name we have key value os.name,to get version we have os.version and to get architecture we have os.orch.
The System class contains several useful class fields and methods. It cannot be instantiated.
The method and its keys:

String getProperty(String key):
This method is used to get the system property.

The code of the program is given below:

public class OpertingSystemInfo  {   public static void main(String[] args)   {   String nameOS = "os.name";     String versionOS = "os.version";     String architectureOS = "os.arch";   System.out.println("\n  The information about OS");   System.out.println("\nName of the OS: " + System.getProperty(nameOS));   System.out.println("Version of the OS: " + System.getProperty(versionOS));   System.out.println("Architecture of THe OS: " + System.getProperty(architectureOS));   } }

The output of the program is given below:

C:\convert\rajesh\completed>javac OpertingSystemInfo.java C:\convert\rajesh\completed>java OpertingSystemInfo The information about OS Name of the OS: Windows 2000 Version of the OS: 5.0 Architecture of The OS: x86
