/**
 * Information about the environment in which the current program is running.
 *
 * Platform provides information such as the operating system,
 * the hostname of the computer, the value of environment variables,
 * the path to the running program,
 * and so on.
 *
 * ## Get the URI to the current Dart script
 *
 * Use the [script] getter to get the URI to the currently running
 * Dart script.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io' show Platform;
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       // Get the URI of the script being run.
 *       var uri = Platform.script;
 *       // Convert the URI to a path.
 *       var path = uri.toFilePath();
 *     }
 *
 * ## Get the value of an environment variable
 *
 * The [environment] getter returns a the names and values of environment
 * variables in a [Map] that contains key-value pairs of strings. The Map is
 * unmodifiable. This sample shows how to get the value of the `PATH`
 * environment variable.
 *
 *     import 'dart:io' show Platform;
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       Map<String, String> envVars = Platform.environment;
 *       print(envVars['PATH']);
 *     }
 *
 * ## Determine the OS
 *
 * You can get the name of the operating system as a string with the
 * [operatingSystem] getter. You can also use one of the static boolean
 * getters: [isMacOS], [isLinux], and [isWindows].
 *
 *     import 'dart:io' show Platform, stdout;
 *
 *     void main() {
 *       // Get the operating system as a string.
 *       String os = Platform.operatingSystem;
 *       // Or, use a predicate getter.
 *       if (Platform.isMacOS) {
 *         print('is a Mac');
 *       } else {
 *         print('is not a Mac');
 *       }
 *     }
 *
 * ## Other resources
 *
 * [Dart by Example](https://www.dartlang.org/dart-by-example/#dart-io-and-command-line-apps)
 * provides additional task-oriented code samples that show how to use
 * various API from the [dart:io] library.
