NAME
       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS
       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell

DESCRIPTION
       The  platform::shell  package provides several utility commands useful for the identifica-
       tion of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This package allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell differ-
       ent  from  the  shell  running  the  package. The only requirement is that the other shell
       (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture  of  the  interrogated  shell  is
       identical  to  the architecture of the running shell this is not generally true. A counter
       example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a  64bit  system  is
       able  to run 32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64
       bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify  the  architecture  of
       the  shell  which will actually run the installed packages, versus the architecture of the
       shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS
       platform::shell::identify shell
              This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the  specified
              Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
              This  command  does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified
              Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
              This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the  specified  Tcl
              shell.

KEYWORDS
       operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
