name: build_machine
long_name: Build machine information
description: |
Provides information about the build machine -- the machine that is doing the actual compilation.
See [Cross-compilation](Cross-compilation.md).
Currently, these values are populated using
[`platform.system()`](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.system) and
[`platform.machine()`](https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.machine).
If you think the returned values for any of these are incorrect for
your system or CPU, or if your OS is not in the linked table, please
[file a bug](https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/new) report
with details and we'll look into it.
methods:
- name: cpu_family
returns: str
description: |
Returns the CPU family name.
[This table](Reference-tables.md#cpu-families) contains
all known CPU families. These are guaranteed to continue working.
- name: cpu
returns: str
description: Returns a more specific CPU name, such as `i686`, `armv8l`, etc.
- name: system
returns: str
description: |
Returns the operating system name.
[This table](Reference-tables.md#operating-system-names) Lists
all of the currently known Operating System names, these are
guaranteed to continue working.
- name: endian
returns: str
description: returns `'big'` on big-endian systems and `'little'` on little-endian systems.
- name: kernel
returns: str
since: 1.2.0
description: |
Returns the name of the Operating System Kernel, such as `linux`, `xnu`, and
`nt`. [See here for more complete
list](Reference-tables.md#kernel-names-since-120) These are more specific
than `system`. If this cannot be detected (for the build machine), or is not
set in the cross file (for the host machine when cross compiling), calling
this method is fatal.
- name: subsystem
returns: str
since: 1.2.0
description: |
Returns the variant of the operating system, such as `ios` and `tvos`. [See
here for more complete list](Reference-tables.md#kernel-names-since-120)
These are more specific than `system`. If this cannot be detected (for the
build machine), or is not set in the cross file (for the host machine when
cross compiling), calling this method is fatal.
