| \title{Get Windows Version} |
| \description{ |
| Get the self-reported Microsoft Windows version number. |
| } |
| \usage{ |
| win.version() |
| } |
| \details{ |
| \code{win.version} is an auxiliary function for |
| \code{\link{sessionInfo}} and \code{\link{bug.report}}. |
| } |
| \value{ |
| A character string describing the version of Windows reported to be in use. |
| } |
| \note{ |
| This function is only available on Microsoft Windows. |
| |
| The result is based on the Windows \code{GetVersionEx} API function, |
| which for recent versions of Windows reports the compatibility version, |
| and not necessarily the actual version (hence 8.1 and 10 may be reported |
| as 8). If the API call reports 8, this function returns |
| \code{>= 8}. |
| } |
| \examples{ |
| if(.Platform$OS.type == "windows") |
| print(win.version()) |
