-The !OperatingSystem library enables various operating-system-related
tasks to be
-performed in the system running Robot Framework. It can, among other
-things, execute commands (for example, 'Run') and check whether
-files exist or not (for example, 'File Should Exist'). The idea of
-the library is to wrap all relevant functions from the standard Python
-modules 'os', 'os.path' and 'shutil', but other related functions can also
be added.
+`OperatingSystem` is Robot Framework's standard library that enables
+various operating system related tasks to be performed in the system
+where Robot Framework is running. It can, among other things, execute
+commands (e.g. `Run`), create and remove files and directories
+(e.g. `Create File`, `Remove Directory`), check whether files or
+directories exists or contain something (e.g. `File Should Exist`,
+`Directory Should Be Empty`) and manipulate environment variables
+(e.g. `Set Environment Variable`).
-Here are the keyword documentations for !OperatingSystem test library by
release:
+The full library documentation by release is found below. The
+documentation of the latest minor version (e.g. 2.0.4) is always
+applicable with earlier minor versions.
