@c FIXME::martin: Not in libguile!
@deffn {Scheme Procedure} software-type
Return a symbol describing the current platform's operating system.
This may be one of @samp{AIX}, @samp{VMS}, @samp{UNIX},
@samp{COHERENT}, @samp{WINDOWS}, @samp{MS-DOS}, @samp{OS/2},
@samp{THINKC}, @samp{AMIGA}, @samp{ATARIST}, @samp{MACH}, or
@samp{ACORN}.
Note that most varieties of Unix are considered to be simply @samp{UNIX}.
That is because when a program depends on features that are not present
on every operating system, it is usually better to test for the presence
or absence of that specific feature. The return value of
@code{software-type} should only be used for this purpose when there is
no other easy or unambiguous way of detecting such features.
