## os Module

Use `require('os')` to access this module.

### os.hostname()

Returns the hostname of the operating system.

### os.type()

Returns the operating system name.

### os.platform()

Returns the operating system platform.

### os.arch()

Returns the operating system CPU architecture.

### os.release()

Returns the operating system release.

### os.uptime()

Returns the system uptime in seconds.

### os.loadavg()

Returns an array containing the 1, 5, and 15 minute load averages.

### os.totalmem()

Returns the total amount of system memory in bytes.

### os.freemem()

Returns the amount of free system memory in bytes.

### os.cpus()

Returns an array of objects containing information about each CPU/core installed: model, speed (in MHz), and times (an object containing the number of CPU ticks spent in: user, nice, sys, idle, and irq).

Example inspection of os.cpus:
