- Gets the version and the operating system ID for currently running OS. See
- wxPlatformInfo for more details about wxOperatingSystemId.
+ Gets the version and the operating system ID for currently running OS.
+ The returned wxOperatingSystemId value can be used for a basic categorization
+ of the OS family; the major and minor version numbers allows to detect a specific
+ system.
+
+ For Unix-like systems (@c wxOS_UNIX) the major and minor version integers will
+ contain the kernel major and minor version numbers (as returned by the
+ 'uname -r' command); e.g. "2" and "6" if the machine is using kernel 2.6.19.
+
+ For Mac OS X systems (@c wxOS_MAC) the major and minor version integers are the
+ natural version numbers associated with the OS; e.g. "10" and and "6" if the machine
+ is using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
+
+ For Windows-like systems (@c wxOS_WINDOWS) the major and minor version integers will
+ contain the following values:
+ @beginTable
+ @row3col{<b>Windows OS name</b>, <b>Major version</b>, <b>Minor version</b>}
+ @row3col{Windows 7, 6, 1}
+ @row3col{Windows Server 2008 R2, 6, 1}
+ @row3col{Windows Server 2008, 6, 0}
+ @row3col{Windows Vista, 6, 0}
+ @row3col{Windows Server 2003 R2, 5, 2}
+ @row3col{Windows Server 2003, 5, 2}
+ @row3col{Windows XP, 5, 1}
+ @row3col{Windows 2000, 5, 0}
+ @endDefList
+ See the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724832(VS.85).aspx">MSDN</a>
+ for more info about the values above.
