Gary D. Gregory commented on LANG-1511:
---------------------------------------
No, MacOS is not Linux. The constants are based on whatever is in the "os.name"
system property, which a programmer can override or even a user with a -D on
the command line.
> SystemUtils missing important documentation

> Key: LANG-1511
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1511
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: lang.*
> Affects Versions: 3.9
> Reporter: david cogen
> Priority: Minor
>
> Need more details about the constants IS_OS_LINUX, etc. For example, is
> IS_OS_LINUX true or false on a mac? I have no idea and don't have a mac handy
> to test this. I suspect it is true but who knows for sure? (I don't want to
> use IS_OS_UNIX because I fear that is TOO general.)
