Function result	Object	System information

Description

The Get system info command returns an object containg information about the operating system and the characteristics of the system hardware and software from the machine it's executed on.

The command returns the following information:

Property	Subproperty		Type	Description	Example
accountName			string	The name of the account for the current user. Typically used to identify an account in the directory.	"msmith"

cpuThreads			number	Total number of threads.	8
machineName			string	The name of the machine as set in the network parameters of the operating system.	"LAPTOP-M3BLHGSG"
macRosetta			boolean	True if 4D is emulated through Rosetta on macOS, False otherwise (not emulated or on Windows).	True
model			string	Name of the computer model.	"iMac12,2", "Dell", "Acer", "VMware", etc.
networkInterfaces			collection	Physical and active network addresses only
	ipAddresses		collection
		ip	string	The address of the network interface	"129.186.81.80"
		type	string	The type of the network interface	"ipv4", "ipv6"
	name		string	The name of the interface.	"Intel(R) 82574L Gigabit Network Connection"
	type		string	The type of interface (note that "ethernet" type is provided for bluetooth interfaces).	"wifi", "ethernet"
osVersion			string	The operating system version and build number(*).	"Windows 10 Pro 1809 (17763.1577)"
osLanguage			string	Language set by the current user of the system. Expressed in the standard defined by the RFC 3066. See Language codes in the Design Reference manual for a complete list.	"fr", "en", "ja", "de", etc.
physicalMemory			number	The volume of memory storage (in kilobytes) available on the machine.	16777216
processor			string	The name, type, and speed of the processor.	"Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz"
uptime			number	The total time (in seconds) since the machine was started.	3600
userName			string	The current user on the machine. Typically used as the display name (i.e., when logging into your computer).	"Mary Smith"
volumes			collection
	available		number	The remaining space that can be used.	524288
	capacity		number	The total volume (in kilobytes) possible.	1048576
	disk		object \| collection (Mac only)
		description	string	A brief summary describing the disk.	"HP LOGICAL VOLUME SCSI Disk Device"
		identifier	string	ID of disk(s) (UUID on Mac and physical drive on Windows)	Mac - "87547BDD-EA75-4F48-8BFA-9A7E393EEAB0", Windows - "\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0"
		size	number	The total capacity (in kilobytes) of the disk	104857600
		interface	string	The type of interface on the machine.	"USB", "network", ,"SATA", "SCSI", "cd/dvd", "PCI"
	fileSystem		string	The file system used by the operating system for storing and retrieving files on the hard disk.	"NTFS", "Journaled HFS+", "GPFS", etc.
	mountPoint		string	The directory in the currently accessible file system on which an additional file system is mounted (i.e., logically attached). Note that this is in POSIX format for Macs.	Mac - "/Volumes/Free HD", Windows - "C:"
	name		string	only on Mac - name of the volume	"iMac-27-Program6"

(*) To determine only the platform being used, there are two commands available: Is macOS and Is Windows.

Note: In the case of virtual machines, the information returned will be that of the virtual machine.

Example

The following code on a Windows machine:

 C_OBJECT($systemInfo)

 $systemInfo:=Get system info

returns an object that contains, for example, the following information:
