* Returns: {String}

The `os.platform()` method returns a string identifying the operating system
platform as set during compile time of Node.js. Some of the possible values are
`"linux"`, `"darwin"`, `"win32"`, `"sunos"` ...

Its value is based on [`OS` constant of `gyp`](https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp/+/md-pages/docs/InputFormatReference.md#Predefined-Variables)
, but with exceptions in case of Mac OS X, Windows and Solaris.

On Windows it's value is always `"win32"`, on Mac OS X it's `"darwin"` and on
Solaris it is `"sunos"`.

Here is a list of possible values for some platforms:

* Android: `"android"`
* Windows/Cygwin: `"win32"`
* Mac OS X: `"darwin"`
* FreeBSD: `"freebsd"`
* OpenBSD: `"openbsd"`
* IBM AIX: `"aix"`
* Solaris: `"sunos"`
* Linux & Others: `"linux"`
platform as set during compile time of Node.js.

Currently possible values are:

* `'aix'`
* `'darwin'`
* `'freebsd'`
* `'linux'`
* `'openbsd'`
* `'sunos'`
* `'win32'`

Equivalent to [`process.platform`][].
