The structure of the object returned by this module.

In the event that any of these properties cannot be determined, they will contain the value unknown

Please feed back to us additional environments or values we might also detect

Properties:

Name	Type	Description
_genres	RegExp	a regular expression that returns true when testing against a string that contains any one of the possible values of genre
genre	NCName	the genre or general category of processor engine of the environment on which the code is running. This version will contain one of the following ["unknown", "server", "browser", "script"]
engine	NCName	the engine that is running the code at the moment. This may contain various values as reported by the engine about itself. Some values include ["unknown", "node", "Firefox", "Edg", "Chrome", "Trident","WScript", "aspClassic"]
version	String	the version of the engine in the format that is used by that engine
os	NCName	the name of the operating system coerced to lower case. Some values include ["unknown", "linux", "sunos", "openbsd", "freebsd", "darwin", "aix", "win16", "win32", "win64"]. Important - nodejs reports win32 even when on a 64 bit machine with 64 bit os. The value responded here is the true version of the operating system so on node on a 64 window machine AND with 64 bit os you get win64 just as you would on a windows script running on the same machine
computerName	String	the name of the computer on which your code is running. This is not discoverable in all environments
