        Operating system.

        Note:
            This is for cases where you need a value representing the OS at
            runtime. If you're doing something which should compile differently
            on different OSes, then please use $(D version (Windows)),
            $(D version (linux)), etc.

        Byte order endianness.

        Note:
            This is intended for cases where you need to deal with endianness at
            runtime. If you're doing something which should compile differently
            depending on whether you're compiling on a big endian or little
            endian machine, then please use $(D version (BigEndian)) and
            $(D version (LittleEndian)).
