Comment(by coke):
Not according to the documentation for the opcode, no.
However, if I follow the source code, I eventually get to stat_common(),
which makes it look like "STAT_PLATFORM_MODE" might work.
This entry into the stat object that's returned doesn't seem to be
documented anywhere, nor do the constants for stat seem to be pulled out
somewhere where they can be used by name instead of magic number.
While a consistent interface would be better (something that unified the
information available via stat and the File (or other) PMCs), if we stick
with stat, we need to provide the same docs/PIR macro support as we do for
other constants.
This should let get me something working with partcl, though. I'll post a
link to the implementation later so folks can use it.
