I’ve tested the below code on Mac and Windows machines and based on that you’ll see the output as shown below. For Solaris & Linux, you’ll get the output accordingly.
Example
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | public class GetOSNameUserHomeAndDirectory { public static void main(String[] args) { String osName = System.getProperty("os.name"); String currentUserDirectory = System.getProperty("user.dir"); String userHome = System.getProperty("user.home"); System.out.println("Operating System : "+osName); System.out.println("Current User Directory : "+currentUserDirectory); System.out.println("User Home : "+userHome); } } |
Output:
On Mac
Operating System: Mac OS X
User Directory : /Users/jradmin
On Windows
Operating System : Windows 10
Current User Directory : C:\Users\deepak\javasamples
User Home : C:\Users\deepak
