System Objects

These are the keywords available for querying various aspects of the system, including the name and version of the operating sytem. This chapter also covers the keywords used to describe the vendors and types of the various processors that coexist in a typical computer system. Some of these Inspectors are system-specific, but are included to provide cross-platform compatibility.
