class Sys

Returns all the arguments that were passed in the command line. This does not include the interpreter or the name of the program file.

(java)(eval) On Windows, non-ASCII Unicode arguments will not work correctly.

Runs the given command. The command output will be printed to the same output as the current process. The current process will block until the command terminates. The return value is the exit code of the command (usually 0 indicates no error).

Command arguments can be passed in two ways:

1. Using args to pass command arguments. Each argument will be automatically quoted and shell meta-characters will be escaped if needed. cmd should be an executable name that can be located in the PATH environment variable, or a full path to an executable.

2. When args is not given or is null, command arguments can be appended to cmd. No automatic quoting/escaping will be performed. cmd should be formatted exactly as it would be when typed at the command line. It can run executables, as well as shell commands that are not executables (e.g. on Windows: dir, cd, echo etc).

Use the sys.io.Process API for more complex tasks, such as background processes, or providing input to the command.

Gives the most precise timestamp value available (in seconds), but only accounts for the actual time spent running on the CPU for the current thread/process.

Returns a map of the current environment variables and their values as of the invocation of the function.

(python) On Windows, the variable names are always in upper case.

(cpp)(hl)(neko) On Windows, the variable names match the last capitalization used when modifying the variable if the variable has been modified, otherwise they match their capitalization at the start of the process.

On Windows on remaining targets, variable name capitalization matches however they were capitalized at the start of the process or at the moment of their creation.

Returns the path to the current executable that we are running.

Exits the current process with the given exit code.

(macro)(eval) Being invoked in a macro or eval context (e.g. with -x or --run) immediately terminates the compilation process, which also prevents the execution of any --next sections of compilation arguments.

Reads a single input character from the standard input and returns it. Setting echo to true will also display the character on the output.

Gets the current working directory (usually the one in which the program was started).

Returns the value of the given environment variable, or null if it doesn't exist.

Prints any value to the standard output.

Prints any value to the standard output, followed by a newline. On Windows, this function outputs a CRLF newline. LF newlines are printed on all other platforms.

Returns the absolute path to the current program file that we are running. Concretely, for an executable binary, it returns the path to the binary. For a script (e.g. a PHP file), it returns the path to the script.

Sets the value of the given environment variable.

If v is null, the environment variable is removed.

(java) This functionality is not available on Java; calling this function will throw.

Changes the current working directory.

(java) This functionality is not available on Java; calling this function will throw.

Changes the current time locale, which will affect DateTools.format date formatting. Returns true if the locale was successfully changed.

Suspends execution for the given length of time (in seconds).

Returns the standard error of the process, to which program errors can be written.

Returns the standard input of the process, from which user input can be read. Usually it will block until the user sends a full input line. See getChar for an alternative.

Returns the standard output of the process, to which program output can be written.

Returns the type of the current system. Possible values are: - "Windows" - "Linux" - "BSD" - "Mac"

Gives the most precise timestamp value available (in seconds).
