os.machine(): string

Returns:string

Returns the machine type as a string, such as arm, arm64, aarch64, mips, mips64, ppc64, ppc64le, s390x, i386, i686, x86_64.

On POSIX systems, the machine type is determined by calling uname(3). On Windows, RtlGetVersion() is used, and if it is not available, GetVersionExW() will be used. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uname#Examples for more information.
