Use KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix()

📉 Kernel - NKS0040

This analyzer provides the following strings:

ContextString
Error ListCaller uses RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Linux) instead of KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix()
Suggestion BoxUse KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() instead of RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Linux)
DescriptionKernelPlatform.IsOnUnix() is more readable and less verbose than RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Linux).

Extended Description

This code analyzer detects the usage of IsOSPlatform from the RuntimeInformation class found in the System.Runtime.InteropServices namespace.

RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform is a modern way of determining the current operating system that Nitrocid is running on. However, this isn't live detection.

As a result, KernelPlatform implements a handful of platform detection functions to allow you to more accurately detect your platform. Also, it simplifies the complicated platform checking statements to its simpler equivalent.

Analysis Comparison

To get a brief insight about how this analyzer works, compare the two code blocks shown to you below:

Before the fix

public static void MyFunction()
{
    bool value = RuntimeInformation.IsOSPlatform(OSPlatform.Linux);
}

After the fix

public static void MyFunction()
{
    bool value = KernelPlatform.IsOnUnix();
}

Suppression

You can suppress this suggestion by including it in the appropriate place, whichever is convenient.

Recommendation

We recommend that every caller which use this function use the recommended abovementioned method.
