Detailed Description

Function Documentation

const char* POSH_GetArchString

(

void

)

Returns a string describing this platform's basic attributes.

POSH_GetArchString() reports on an architecture's statically determined attributes. In addition, it will perform run-time verification checks to make sure the various platform specific functions work. If an error occurs, please contact me at poshl.nosp@m.ib@p.nosp@m.oshli.nosp@m.b.or.nosp@m.g so we can try to resolve what the specific failure case is.

Returns

a string describing this platform on success, or a string in the form "*ERROR: [text]" on failure. You can simply check to see if the first character returned is '*' to verify an error condition.
