static class

LowLevel

Public / Attributes

CpuTotal

Returns the estimated total CPU usage of the system.

public static property	CpuTotal { get }
type	int32
value	[0..100]	The estimated total CPU usage.

CpuUsed

Returns the estimated CPU usage of the calling process.

public static property	CpuUsed { get }
type	int32
value	[0..100]	The estimated process CPU usage.

Is64Bit

Checks if the underlying environment is 64-bit.

public static property	Is64Bit { get }
type	bool
value		true if the underlying environment is 64-bit, false if not.

IsDebug

Checks if this binary has been compiled in debug mode.

public static property	IsDebug { get }
type	bool
value		true if this binary has been compiled in debug mode, false if not.

MemoryFree

Returns an estimate on the amount of unused physical memory that can be used by the process.

public static property	MemoryFree { get }
type	int64
value	[>0]	The amount of unused memory, in bytes.

MemoryTotal

Returns the total amount of physical memory that is available to the process.

public static property	MemoryTotal { get }
type	int64
value	[>0]	The total amount of available memory, in bytes.

MemoryUsed

Returns the amount of physical memory that is currently being used by the process.

public static property	MemoryUsed { get }
type	int64
value	[>=0]	The amount of used physical memory.

PlatformName

Returns the human-readable name of the underlying platform.

public static property	PlatformName { get }
type	string
value	[not-null]	The platform name.

ProcessorCount

Returns the number of (logical) processors on the system.

public static property	ProcessorCount { get }
type	int32
value	[>=1]	The number of processors.

Remarks:

This value does not represent physical CPU cores. Instead it is meant to be a guide for determining how many threads to run in parallel at a given point in time.

ProgrammingLanguageName

Returns the human-readable name of the underlying programming language.

public static property	ProgrammingLanguageName { get }
type	string
value	[not-null]	The programming language name.

SystemTimeString

Returns the UTC system time in the following format: yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss (for example 2014-01-31 15:56:30).

public static property	SystemTimeString { get }
type	string
value	[not-null]	The UTC system time string.

TickCount

Returns the system tick count.

public static property	TickCount { get }
type	int32
value		The current system tick, in milliseconds.

Remarks:

System tick count values should not be used across thread boundaries.

TickCountPrecise

TickCountPrecise

Returns the system tick count.

public static property	TickCountPrecise { get }
type	int64
value		The current system tick, in microseconds.

Remarks:

System tick count values should not be used across thread boundaries.

Public / Methods

DoubleToLong

Interprets the given 64-bit floating point value as a 64-bit integer value.

[Pure]
public static method	DoubleToLong (float64 value)
type	int64
params	value		The floating point value.
returns			The integer value, holding the IEEE 754 compliant bit pattern.

FloatToInt

Interprets the given 64-bit floating point value as a 64-bit integer value.

[Pure]
public static method	FloatToInt (float32 value)
type	int32
params	value		The floating point value.
returns			The integer value, holding the IEEE 754 compliant bit pattern.

GetVariable

Returns the value of an environment variable.

public static method	GetVariable (string variable)
type	string
params	variable	[not-empty]	The variable name.
returns			The variable value or null if not found.

Remarks:

The environment variable is retrieved from the user that is running the current process. If not found, the variable is retrieved from the current process.

Interprets the given 32-bit integer as a 32-bit floating point value.

[Pure]
public static method	IntToFloat (int32 value)
type	float32
params	value		The integer value, holding the IEEE 754 compliant bit pattern.
returns			The floating point value.

LongToDouble

Interprets the given 64-bit integer as a 64-bit floating point value.

[Pure]
public static method	LongToDouble (int64 value)
type	float64
params	value		The integer value, holding the IEEE 754 compliant bit pattern.
returns			The floating point value.
