Function Details

set_proc_title(title)

Tries to set the current process title. This is very system-dependent and may fail in many cases.

Returns:: True if the process succeeds, False if there's an error

get_host_info_string()

Returns a string containing information to identify the system on which you're currently running. This is useful to logging info. Don't try matching against it - you'll be better off getting the components separately.

open_file(filename)

Tries to use a system-recommended application to open the given file. Uses xdg-open on Linux, start on Windows and open on Mac.
