		Operating System functions.
	</brief_description>
	<description>
		Operating System functions. [OS] wraps the most common functionality to communicate with the host operating system, such as the video driver, delays, environment variables, execution of binaries, command line, etc.
		[b]Note:[/b] In Godot 4, [OS] functions related to window management were moved to the [DisplayServer] singleton.

		<method name="crash">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="message" type="String" />
			<description>
				Crashes the engine (or the editor if called within a [code]@tool[/code] script). This should [i]only[/i] be used for testing the system's crash handler, not for any other purpose. For general error reporting, use (in order of preference) [method @GDScript.assert], [method @GlobalScope.push_error] or [method alert]. See also [method kill].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="create_instance">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="arguments" type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				Creates a new instance of Godot that runs independently. The [param arguments] are used in the given order and separated by a space.
				If the process creation succeeds, the method will return the new process ID, which you can use to monitor the process (and potentially terminate it with [method kill]). If the process creation fails, the method will return [code]-1[/code].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is implemented on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="create_process">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
			<param index="1" name="arguments" type="PackedStringArray" />
			<param index="2" name="open_console" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Creates a new process that runs independently of Godot. It will not terminate if Godot terminates. The path specified in [param path] must exist and be executable file or macOS .app bundle. Platform path resolution will be used. The [param arguments] are used in the given order and separated by a space.
				On Windows, if [param open_console] is [code]true[/code] and the process is a console app, a new terminal window will be opened. This is ignored on other platforms.
				If the process creation succeeds, the method will return the new process ID, which you can use to monitor the process (and potentially terminate it with [method kill]). If the process creation fails, the method will return [code]-1[/code].
				For example, running another instance of the project:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var pid = OS.create_process(OS.get_executable_path(), [])
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var pid = OS.CreateProcess(OS.GetExecutablePath(), new string[] {});
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				See [method execute] if you wish to run an external command and retrieve the results.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is implemented on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.
				[b]Note:[/b] On macOS, sandboxed applications are limited to run only embedded helper executables, specified during export or system .app bundle, system .app bundles will ignore arguments.

		<method name="delay_msec" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="msec" type="int" />
			<description>
				Delays execution of the current thread by [param msec] milliseconds. [param msec] must be greater than or equal to [code]0[/code]. Otherwise, [method delay_msec] will do nothing and will print an error message.
				[b]Note:[/b] [method delay_msec] is a [i]blocking[/i] way to delay code execution. To delay code execution in a non-blocking way, see [method SceneTree.create_timer]. Awaiting with [method SceneTree.create_timer] will delay the execution of code placed below the [code]await[/code] without affecting the rest of the project (or editor, for [EditorPlugin]s and [EditorScript]s).
				[b]Note:[/b] When [method delay_msec] is called on the main thread, it will freeze the project and will prevent it from redrawing and registering input until the delay has passed. When using [method delay_msec] as part of an [EditorPlugin] or [EditorScript], it will freeze the editor but won't freeze the project if it is currently running (since the project is an independent child process).
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="delay_usec" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="void" />
			<param index="0" name="usec" type="int" />
			<description>
				Delays execution of the current thread by [param usec] microseconds. [param usec] must be greater than or equal to [code]0[/code]. Otherwise, [method delay_usec] will do nothing and will print an error message.
				[b]Note:[/b] [method delay_usec] is a [i]blocking[/i] way to delay code execution. To delay code execution in a non-blocking way, see [method SceneTree.create_timer]. Awaiting with [method SceneTree.create_timer] will delay the execution of code placed below the [code]await[/code] without affecting the rest of the project (or editor, for [EditorPlugin]s and [EditorScript]s).
				[b]Note:[/b] When [method delay_usec] is called on the main thread, it will freeze the project and will prevent it from redrawing and registering input until the delay has passed. When using [method delay_usec] as part of an [EditorPlugin] or [EditorScript], it will freeze the editor but won't freeze the project if it is currently running (since the project is an independent child process).

		<method name="execute">
			<return type="int" />
			<param index="0" name="path" type="String" />
			<param index="1" name="arguments" type="PackedStringArray" />
			<param index="2" name="output" type="Array" default="[]" />
			<param index="3" name="read_stderr" type="bool" default="false" />
			<param index="4" name="open_console" type="bool" default="false" />
			<description>
				Executes a command. The file specified in [param path] must exist and be executable. Platform path resolution will be used. The [param arguments] are used in the given order, separated by spaces, and wrapped in quotes. If an [param output] [Array] is provided, the complete shell output of the process will be appended as a single [String] element in [param output]. If [param read_stderr] is [code]true[/code], the output to the standard error stream will be included too.
				On Windows, if [param open_console] is [code]true[/code] and the process is a console app, a new terminal window will be opened. This is ignored on other platforms.
				If the command is successfully executed, the method will return the exit code of the command, or [code]-1[/code] if it fails.
				[b]Note:[/b] The Godot thread will pause its execution until the executed command terminates. Use [Thread] to create a separate thread that will not pause the Godot thread, or use [method create_process] to create a completely independent process.
				For example, to retrieve a list of the working directory's contents:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var output = []
				var exit_code = OS.execute("ls", ["-l", "/tmp"], output)
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var output = new Godot.Collections.Array();
				int exitCode = OS.Execute("ls", new string[] {"-l", "/tmp"}, output);
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				If you wish to access a shell built-in or execute a composite command, a platform-specific shell can be invoked. For example:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var output = []
				OS.execute("CMD.exe", ["/C", "cd %TEMP% &amp;&amp; dir"], output)
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var output = new Godot.Collections.Array();
				OS.Execute("CMD.exe", new string[] {"/C", "cd %TEMP% &amp;&amp; dir"}, output);
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is implemented on Android, iOS, Linux, macOS and Windows.
				[b]Note:[/b] To execute a Windows command interpreter built-in command, specify [code]cmd.exe[/code] in [param path], [code]/c[/code] as the first argument, and the desired command as the second argument.
				[b]Note:[/b] To execute a PowerShell built-in command, specify [code]powershell.exe[/code] in [param path], [code]-Command[/code] as the first argument, and the desired command as the second argument.
				[b]Note:[/b] To execute a Unix shell built-in command, specify shell executable name in [param path], [code]-c[/code] as the first argument, and the desired command as the second argument.
				[b]Note:[/b] On macOS, sandboxed applications are limited to run only embedded helper executables, specified during export.

		<method name="find_keycode_from_string" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="int" enum="Key" />
			<param index="0" name="string" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the keycode of the given string (e.g. "Escape").
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_cache_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the [i]global[/i] cache data directory according to the operating system's standards. On the Linux/BSD platform, this path can be overridden by setting the [code]XDG_CACHE_HOME[/code] environment variable before starting the project. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/io/data_paths.html]File paths in Godot projects[/url] in the documentation for more information. See also [method get_config_dir] and [method get_data_dir].
				Not to be confused with [method get_user_data_dir], which returns the [i]project-specific[/i] user data path.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_cmdline_args">
			<return type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				Returns the command-line arguments passed to the engine.
				Command-line arguments can be written in any form, including both [code]--key value[/code] and [code]--key=value[/code] forms so they can be properly parsed, as long as custom command-line arguments do not conflict with engine arguments.
				You can also incorporate environment variables using the [method get_environment] method.
				You can set [member ProjectSettings.editor/run/main_run_args] to define command-line arguments to be passed by the editor when running the project.
				Here's a minimal example on how to parse command-line arguments into a dictionary using the [code]--key=value[/code] form for arguments:
				[codeblocks]
				[gdscript]
				var arguments = {}
				for argument in OS.get_cmdline_args():
				    if argument.find("=") &gt; -1:
				        var key_value = argument.split("=")
				        arguments[key_value[0].lstrip("--")] = key_value[1]
				    else:
				        # Options without an argument will be present in the dictionary,
				        # with the value set to an empty string.
				        arguments[argument.lstrip("--")] = ""
				[/gdscript]
				[csharp]
				var arguments = new Godot.Collections.Dictionary();
				foreach (var argument in OS.GetCmdlineArgs())
				{
				    if (argument.Find("=") &gt; -1)
				    {
				        string[] keyValue = argument.Split("=");
				        arguments[keyValue[0].LStrip("--")] = keyValue[1];
				    }
				    else
				    {
				        // Options without an argument will be present in the dictionary,
				        // with the value set to an empty string.
				        arguments[keyValue[0].LStrip("--")] = "";
				    }
				}
				[/csharp]
				[/codeblocks]
				[b]Note:[/b] Passing custom user arguments directly is not recommended, as the engine may discard or modify them. Instead, the best way is to use the standard UNIX double dash ([code]--[/code]) and then pass custom arguments, which the engine itself will ignore. These can be read via [method get_cmdline_user_args].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_cmdline_user_args">
			<return type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				Similar to [method get_cmdline_args], but this returns the user arguments (any argument passed after the double dash [code]--[/code] or double plus [code]++[/code] argument). These are left untouched by Godot for the user. [code]++[/code] can be used in situations where [code]--[/code] is intercepted by another program (such as [code]startx[/code]).
				For example, in the command line below, [code]--fullscreen[/code] will not be returned in [method get_cmdline_user_args] and [code]--level 1[/code] will only be returned in [method get_cmdline_user_args]:
				[codeblock]
				godot --fullscreen -- --level 1
				# Or:
				godot --fullscreen ++ --level 1
				[/codeblock]
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_config_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the [i]global[/i] user configuration directory according to the operating system's standards. On the Linux/BSD platform, this path can be overridden by setting the [code]XDG_CONFIG_HOME[/code] environment variable before starting the project. See [url=$DOCS_URL/tutorials/io/data_paths.html]File paths in Godot projects[/url] in the documentation for more information. See also [method get_cache_dir] and [method get_data_dir].
				Not to be confused with [method get_user_data_dir], which returns the [i]project-specific[/i] user data path.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_connected_midi_inputs">
			<return type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				Returns an array of MIDI device names.
				The returned array will be empty if the system MIDI driver has not previously been initialized with [method open_midi_inputs].
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is implemented on Linux, macOS and Windows.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_data_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the [i]global[/i] user data directory according to the operating system's standards.

		</method>
		<method name="get_distribution_name" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the name of the distribution for Linux and BSD platforms (e.g. Ubuntu, Manjaro, OpenBSD, etc.).
				Returns the same value as [method get_name] for stock Android ROMs, but attempts to return the custom ROM name for popular Android derivatives such as LineageOS.
				Returns the same value as [method get_name] for other platforms.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is not supported on the web platform. It returns an empty string.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_environment" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="variable" type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the value of an environment variable. Returns an empty string if the environment variable doesn't exist.
				[b]Note:[/b] Double-check the casing of [param variable]. Environment variable names are case-sensitive on all platforms except Windows.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_executable_path" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the path to the current engine executable.
				[b]Note:[/b] On macOS, always use [method create_instance] instead of relying on executable path.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_granted_permissions" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="PackedStringArray" />
			<description>
				With this function, you can get the list of dangerous permissions that have been granted to the Android application.
				[b]Note:[/b] This method is implemented on Android.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_keycode_string" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<param index="0" name="code" type="int" enum="Key" />
			<description>
				Returns the given keycode as a string (e.g. Return values: [code]"Escape"[/code], [code]"Shift+Escape"[/code]).
				See also [member InputEventKey.keycode] and [method InputEventKey.get_keycode_with_modifiers].
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_locale" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the host OS locale as a string of the form [code]language_Script_COUNTRY_VARIANT@extra[/code]. If you want only the language code and not the fully specified locale from the OS, you can use [method get_locale_language].
				[code]language[/code] - 2 or 3-letter [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes]language code[/url], in lower case.
				[code]Script[/code] - optional, 4-letter [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_15924]script code[/url], in title case.
				[code]COUNTRY[/code] - optional, 2 or 3-letter [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1]country code[/url], in upper case.
				[code]VARIANT[/code] - optional, language variant, region and sort order. Variant can have any number of underscored keywords.
				[code]extra[/code] - optional, semicolon separated list of additional key words. Currency, calendar, sort order and numbering system information.
			</description>
		</method>
		<method name="get_locale_language" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the host OS locale's 2 or 3-letter [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes]language code[/url] as a string which should be consistent on all platforms. This is equivalent to extracting the [code]language[/code] part of the [method get_locale] string.
				This can be used to narrow down fully specified locale strings to only the "common" language code, when you don't need the additional information about country code or variants. For example, for a French Canadian user with [code]fr_CA[/code] locale, this would return [code]fr[/code].

		</method>
		<method name="get_unique_id" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns a string that is unique to the device.
				[b]Note:[/b] This string may change without notice if the user reinstalls/upgrades their operating system or changes their hardware. This means it should generally not be used to encrypt persistent data as the data saved before an unexpected ID change would become inaccessible. The returned string may also be falsified using external programs, so do not rely on the string returned by [method get_unique_id] for security purposes.
				[b]Note:[/b] Returns an empty string on Web and UWP, as this method isn't implemented on those platforms yet.

		<method name="get_user_data_dir" qualifiers="const">
			<return type="String" />
			<description>
				Returns the absolute directory path where user data is written ([code]user://[/code]).
				On Windows, this is [code]%AppData%\Godot\app_userdata\[project_name][/code], or [code]%AppData%\[custom_name][/code] if [code]use_custom_user_dir[/code] is set. [code]%AppData%[/code] expands to [code]%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming[/code].
				On macOS, this is [code]~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/[project_name][/code], or [code]~/Library/Application Support/[custom_name][/code] if [code]use_custom_user_dir[/code] is set.
				On Linux and BSD, this is [code]~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/[project_name][/code], or [code]~/.local/share/[custom_name][/code] if [code]use_custom_user_dir[/code] is set.
				On Android and iOS, this is a sandboxed directory in either internal or external storage, depending on the user's configuration.
				On the web, this is a virtual directory managed by the browser.
				If the project name is empty, [code][project_name][/code] falls back to [code][unnamed project][/code].
				Not to be confused with [method get_data_dir], which returns the [i]global[/i] (non-project-specific) user home directory.
