You can use:
System.getProperty("os.name")
P.S. You may find this code useful:
class ShowProperties {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.getProperties().list(System.out);
}
}
All it does is print out all the properties provided by your Java implementations. It'll give you an idea of what you can find out about your Java environment via properties. :-)
On Python ≥ 3.5, use pathlib.Path.mkdir:
from pathlib import Path
Path("/my/directory").mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
For older versions of Python, I see two answers with good qualities, each with a small flaw, so I will give my take on it:
Try os.path.exists, and consider os.makedirs for the creation.
import os
if not os.path.exists(directory):
os.makedirs(directory)
As noted in comments and elsewhere, there's a race condition – if the directory is created between the os.path.exists and the os.makedirs calls, the os.makedirs will fail with an OSError. Unfortunately, blanket-catching OSError and continuing is not foolproof, as it will ignore a failure to create the directory due to other factors, such as insufficient permissions, full disk, etc.
One option would be to trap the OSError and examine the embedded error code (see Is there a cross-platform way of getting information from Python’s OSError):
import os, errno
try:
os.makedirs(directory)
except OSError as e:
if e.errno != errno.EEXIST:
raise
Alternatively, there could be a second os.path.exists, but suppose another created the directory after the first check, then removed it before the second one – we could still be fooled.
Depending on the application, the danger of concurrent operations may be more or less than the danger posed by other factors such as file permissions. The developer would have to know more about the particular application being developed and its expected environment before choosing an implementation.
Modern versions of Python improve this code quite a bit, both by exposing FileExistsError (in 3.3+)...
try:
os.makedirs("path/to/directory")
except FileExistsError:
# directory already exists
pass
...and by allowing a keyword argument to os.makedirs called exist_ok (in 3.2+).
os.makedirs("path/to/directory", exist_ok=True) # succeeds even if directory exists.
Best Solution
Looking into the IoConnectInterrupt function you can find the ProcessorEnableMask that will select the cpu's that allowed to run the InterruptService routine (ISR).
Based on this information i can assume that somewhere in the low level (see Adam's post) it's possible to specify where to route the interrupt.
On the side note file operation is not really related to the interrupts and/or dma directly. File operation is file system concept that translated to something low level depend on which bus you filesystem located it might be IDE or SATA disk or it might be even usb storage in this case sector read will be translated to 3 logical operation over usb bus, there will be interrupt served by usb host controller driver, but it's not really related to original file read operation, that was probably split to smaller transaction any way.
