title: About the os Resource

# os
|
|
|
|
Use the `os` InSpec audit resource to test the platform on which the system is running.
|
|
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Syntax
|
|
|
|
An `os` resource block declares the platform to be tested. The platform may specified via matcher or control block name. For example, using a matcher:
|
|
|
|
describe os[:family] do
|
|
it { should eq 'platform_family_name' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
* `'platform_family_name'` (a string) is one of `aix`, `bsd`, `darwin`, `debian`, `hpux`, `linux`, `redhat`, `solaris`, `suse`, `unix`, or `windows`
|
|
|
|
The parameters available to `os` are:
|
|
|
|
* `:name` - the operating system name, such as `centos`
|
|
* `:family` - the operating system family, such as `redhat`
|
|
* `:release` - the version of the operating system, such as `7.3.1611`
|
|
* `:arch` - the architecture of the operating system, such as `x86_64`
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
|
|
|
|
### Test for RedHat
|
|
|
|
describe os[:family] do
|
|
it { should eq 'redhat' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test for Ubuntu
|
|
|
|
describe os[:family] do
|
|
it { should eq 'debian' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
### Test for Microsoft Windows
|
|
|
|
describe os[:family] do
|
|
it { should eq 'windows' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
## os.family? Helpers
|
|
|
|
The `os` audit resource includes a collection of helpers that enable more granular testing of platforms, platform names, architectures, and releases. Use any of the following platform-specific helpers to test for specific platforms:
|
|
|
|
* `aix?`
|
|
* `bsd?` (including Darwin, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD)
|
|
* `darwin?`
|
|
* `debian?`
|
|
* `hpux?`
|
|
* `linux?` (including Alpine Linux, Amazon Linux, ArchLinux, CoreOS, Exherbo, Fedora, Gentoo, and Slackware)
|
|
* `redhat?` (including CentOS)
|
|
* `solaris?` (including Nexenta Core, OmniOS, Open Indiana, Solaris Open, and SmartOS)
|
|
* `suse?`
|
|
* `unix?`
|
|
* `windows?`
|
|
|
|
For example, to test for Darwin use:
|
|
|
|
describe os.bsd? do
|
|
it { should eq true }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
To test for Windows use:
|
|
|
|
describe os.windows? do
|
|
it { should eq true }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
and to test for Redhat use:
|
|
|
|
describe os.redhat? do
|
|
it { should eq true }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
Use the following helpers to test for operating system names, releases, and architectures:
|
|
|
|
describe os.name do
|
|
it { should eq 'foo' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe os.release do
|
|
it { should eq 'foo' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
describe os.arch do
|
|
it { should eq 'foo' }
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
## os[:family] Symbols
|
|
|
|
Use `os[:family]` to enable more granular testing of platforms, platform names, architectures, and releases. Use any of the following platform-specific symbols to test for specific platforms:
|
|
|
|
* `:aix`
|
|
* `:bsd` For platforms that are part of the Berkeley OS family: `:darwin`, `:freebsd`, `:netbsd`, and `:openbsd`.
|
|
* `:debian`
|
|
* `:hpux`
|
|
* `:linux`. For platforms that are part of the Linux family: `:alpine`, `:amazon`, `:arch`, `:coreos`, `:exherbo`, `:fedora`, `:gentoo`, and `:slackware`.
|
|
* `:redhat`. For platforms that are part of the Redhat family: `:centos`.
|
|
* `:solaris`. For platforms that are part of the Solaris family: `:nexentacore`, `:omnios`, `:openindiana`, `:opensolaris`, and `:smartos`.
|
|
* `:suse`
|
|
* `:unix`
|
|
* `:windows`
|
|
|
|
For example, both of the following tests should have the same result:
|
|
|
|
if os[:family] == 'debian'
|
|
describe port(69) do
|
|
its('processes') { should include 'in.tftpd' }
|
|
end
|
|
elsif os[:family] == 'redhat'
|
|
describe port(69) do
|
|
its('processes') { should include 'xinetd' }
|
|
end
|
|
end
|
|
|
|
if os.debian?
|
|
describe port(69) do
|
|
its('processes') { should include 'in.tftpd' }
|
|
end
|
|
elsif os.redhat?
|
|
describe port(69) do
|
|
its('processes') { should include 'xinetd' }
|
|
end
|
|
end
