The ‘platformids‘ package provides the categorization and enumeration of OS platforms and distributions.

This enables the development of portable generic code for arbitrary platforms in IT and IoT landscapes consisting of heterogeneous physical and virtual runtime environments.

The introduced hierarchical bitmask vectors enable for fast and efficient platform specific code and data selection for OS and distributions with routines for specific platform releases.

The supported version numbering comprise various release schemes such as classical version numbers with variable segments and optional release names,
* AlpineLinux-3.8.1
* CentOS-6.10
* Debian-9.6
* Fedora31
* OS-X-10.6.8
* Ubuntu-18.04
* armbian-5.76
* cygwin-2.9.0
* opensuse-15.1
* raspbian-9.4
* slackware-14.2
* solaris-11.3

variations of numbering schemes and continous deployment
* CentOS-7.6-1810
* NT-6.3.9600
* archlinux-2018.12.01
* kali-linux-2019.1
* NT-10.0.1809
