Function Reference
— Function File: [c, maxsize, endian] = computer ()

Print or return a string of the form cpu-vendor-os that identifies the kind of computer Octave is running on. If invoked with an output argument, the value is returned instead of printed. For example,

          computer ()
               -| i586-pc-linux-gnu
          
          x = computer ()
                x = "i586-pc-linux-gnu"

If two output arguments are requested, also return the maximum number of elements for an array.

If three output arguments are requested, also return the byte order of the current system as a character ("B" for big-endian or "L" for little-endian).
