Usage in Deno

```typescript import { platform } from "node:node__os.d.ts"; ```
platform(): Platform
Returns a string identifying the operating system platform for which the Node.js binary was compiled. The value is set at compile time. Possible values are `'aix'`, `'darwin'`, `'freebsd'`, `'linux'`, `'openbsd'`, `'sunos'`, and `'win32'`. The return value is equivalent to `process.platform`. The value `'android'` may also be returned if Node.js is built on the Android operating system. [Android support is experimental](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/HEAD/BUILDING.md#androidandroid-based-devices-eg-firefox-os).
