2.9.1.  List of created properties

os.properties creates a fixed amount of properties plus an additional property depending of the operating system type.

Fixed Properties

• os.name

  Operating system name

• os.arch

  Operating system architecture

• os.version

  Operating system version

• os.family

  os.family contains the name of the operating system family. The following values may be contained: windows, os/2, netware, dos, mac, unix, win9x and macosx.

  os.family is not limited to contain only one of the values. For example on a Mac OS X os.family will contain mac unix macosx. Every matched family will be returned in os.family (separated by a space).

Additionally an ant property named os.family.[family] will be created (where [family] is replaced by windows, os/2, netware, dos, mac, unix, win9x or macosx). Sometimes more than one family matches the operating system. In this case multiple properties starting with os.family. will be created.
For example on a Mac OS X the properties os.family.unix, os.family.mac and os.family.macosx are created.

The value of the os.family.[family] property is always set to "true".
