Usage in Deno

```typescript import { machine } from "node:node__os.d.ts"; ```
machine(): string
Returns the machine type as a string, such as `arm`, `arm64`, `aarch64`, `mips`, `mips64`, `ppc64`, `ppc64le`, `s390`, `s390x`, `i386`, `i686`, `x86_64`. On POSIX systems, the machine type is determined by calling [`uname(3)`](https://linux.die.net/man/3/uname). On Windows, `RtlGetVersion()` is used, and if it is not available, `GetVersionExW()` will be used.
