isUnix: Test whether system is unix-alike (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
In reproducible: Enhance Reproducibility of R Code
isUnix R Documentation
Test whether system is unix-alike (macOS, Linux, BSD, ...)
Description
.Platform$OS.type is only ever "unix" or "windows", so this is the exact
complement of isWindows(). Provided as a helper so tests can override it
with testthat::local_mocked_bindings(), which is impossible when the check
is written inline against .Platform.
Usage
isUnix()
