This constant is a symbol that represents the both the operating
system running on, and the type of hardware installed in, the host
machine. It is a combination of the :const:`$os-name` and
:const:`$machine-name` constants.
Represents both the architecture and the operating system running on the
host machine. It is a concatenation of :const:`$machine-name`, ``"-"``,
and :const:`$os-name`. See those constants to determine the full list of
possible values.
