<h2><a class='anchor' name='description'>Description</a></h2>
<p>The Platform class (along with its subclasses) handles things which differ between operating systems (mac/linux/windows/...), to simplify cross-platform aspects of SuperCollider.
<p>Platform is an abstract class encapsulating various platform dependent constants and properties, such as directories, primitive features and startup files. The platform object is accessible through the <code class='code prettyprint lang-sc'>platform</code> method of the main process instance:<pre class='code prettyprint lang-sc'>thisProcess.platform</pre>
<p>Currently implemented platforms include: OSXPlatform, LinuxPlatform, WindowsPlatform, UnixPlatform.<h2><a class='anchor' name='classmethods'>Class Methods</a></h2>
<p>Most of Platforms class methods are simply wrappers to <code class='code prettyprint lang-sc'>thisProcess.platform.method</code>.<h3><a class='anchor' name='Platform%20name%20and%20platform%20dependent%20actions'>Platform name and platform dependent actions</a></h3>
<h3 class='method-code'><span class='method-prefix'>Platform.</span><a class='method-name' name='*case' href='./../Overviews/Methods.html#case'>case</a>( <span class='argstr'>... cases</span>)</h3>
<div class='method'>
<p>Perform actions depending on the current platform (name), just like Object:switch:<pre class='code prettyprint lang-sc'>Platform.case(
\osx, { "OSX".postln },
\linux, { "Linux".postln },
\windows, { "Windows".postln }
);</pre>

<div class='method'>
<p>returns a String indicating which IDE the language believes it is running in. (Often this is determined via the "-i" option to the sclang executable.) This is determined when sclang starts and cannot be changed dynamically.
<p>The main purpose of this is to include/exclude folders from the class search patch depending on which IDE is in use: for example, if the value of ideName is "scapp" then folders named "scide_scapp" are included and all other folders beginning with "scide_" are excluded. The default value of this is "none".
<p>Known IDE names in use are "scapp" (SuperCollider.app on Mac), "scvim" (vim), "scel" (emacs). Others may be used.</div><h3><a class='anchor' name='Directories%20and%20filesystem%20stuff'>Directories and filesystem stuff</a></h3>
