If :file:`/etc/os-release` file is not found, the command tries to gather OS
identification via fallback scripts.  The fallback script can use `various
distribution-specific files`_ to collect OS identification data and map it
into `man 5 os-release`_ variables.

Fallback Interface Variables
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

.. variable:: CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_SCRIPTS

  In addition to the scripts shipped with CMake, a user may append full
  paths to his script(s) to the this list.  The script filename has the
  following format: ``NNN-<name>.cmake``, where ``NNN`` is three digits
  used to apply collected scripts in a specific order.

.. variable:: CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_<varname>

  Variables collected by the user provided fallback script
  ought to be assigned to CMake variables using this naming
  convention.  Example, the ``ID`` variable from the manual becomes
  ``CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_ID``.

.. variable:: CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT

  The fallback script ought to store names of all assigned
  ``CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_<varname>`` variables in this list.

Example:

.. code-block:: cmake

  # Try to detect some old distribution
  # See also
  # - http://linuxmafia.com/faq/Admin/release-files.html
  #
  if(NOT EXISTS "${CMAKE_SYSROOT}/etc/foobar-release")
    return()
  endif()
  # Get the first string only
  file(
      STRINGS "${CMAKE_SYSROOT}/etc/foobar-release" CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_CONTENT
      LIMIT_COUNT 1
    )
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   Foobar distribution release 1.2.3 (server)
  #
  if(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_CONTENT MATCHES "Foobar distribution release ([0-9\.]+) .*")
    set(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_NAME Foobar)
    set(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_PRETTY_NAME "${CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_CONTENT}")
    set(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_ID foobar)
    set(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_VERSION ${CMAKE_MATCH_1})
    set(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_VERSION_ID ${CMAKE_MATCH_1})
    list(
        APPEND CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT
        CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_NAME
        CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_PRETTY_NAME
        CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_ID
        CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_VERSION
        CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_RESULT_VERSION_ID
      )
  endif()
  unset(CMAKE_GET_OS_RELEASE_FALLBACK_CONTENT)

  cmake_host_system_information(RESULT <variable>
                                QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY <key> [VALUE_NAMES|SUBKEYS|VALUE <name>]
                                [VIEW (64|32|64_32|32_64|HOST|TARGET|BOTH)]
                                [SEPARATOR <separator>]
                                [ERROR_VARIABLE <result>])

Performs query operations on local computer registry subkey. Returns a list of
subkeys or value names that are located under the specified subkey in the
registry or the data of the specified value name. The result of the queried
entity is stored in ``<variable>``.

.. note::

  Querying registry for any other platforms than ``Windows``, including
  ``CYGWIN``, will always returns an empty string and sets an error message in
  the variable specified with sub-option ``ERROR_VARIABLE``.

``<key>`` specify the full path of a subkey on the local computer. The
``<key>`` must include a valid root key. Valid root keys for the local computer
are:

* ``HKLM`` or ``HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE``
* ``HKCU`` or ``HKEY_CURRENT_USER``
* ``HKCR`` or ``HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT``
* ``HKU`` or ``HKEY_USERS``
* ``HKCC`` or ``HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG``

And, optionally, the path to a subkey under the specified root key. The path
separator can be the slash or the backslash. ``<key>`` is not case sensitive.
For example:

.. code-block:: cmake

  cmake_host_system_information(RESULT result QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY "HKLM")
  cmake_host_system_information(RESULT result QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Kitware")
  cmake_host_system_information(RESULT result QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY "HKCU\\SOFTWARE\\Kitware")

``VALUE_NAMES``
  Request the list of value names defined under ``<key>``. If a default value
  is defined, it will be identified with the special name ``(default)``.

``SUBKEYS``
  Request the list of subkeys defined under ``<key>``.

``VALUE <name>``
  Request the data stored in value named ``<name>``. If ``VALUE`` is not
  specified or argument is the special name ``(default)``, the content of the
  default value, if any, will be returned.

  .. code-block:: cmake

     # query default value for HKLM/SOFTWARE/Kitware key
     cmake_host_system_information(RESULT result
                                   QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Kitware")

     # query default value for HKLM/SOFTWARE/Kitware key using special value name
     cmake_host_system_information(RESULT result
                                   QUERY WINDOWS_REGISTRY "HKLM/SOFTWARE/Kitware"
                                   VALUE "(default)")

  Supported types are:

  * ``REG_SZ``.
  * ``REG_EXPAND_SZ``. The returned data is expanded.
  * ``REG_MULTI_SZ``. The returned is expressed as a CMake list. See also
    ``SEPARATOR`` sub-option.
  * ``REG_DWORD``.
  * ``REG_QWORD``.

  For all other types, an empty string is returned.

``VIEW``
  Specify which registry views must be queried. When not specified, ``BOTH``
  view is used.

  ``64``
    Query the 64bit registry. On ``32bit Windows``, returns always an empty
    string.

  ``32``
    Query the 32bit registry.

  ``64_32``
    For ``VALUE`` sub-option or default value, query the registry using view
    ``64``, and if the request failed, query the registry using view ``32``.
    For ``VALUE_NAMES`` and ``SUBKEYS`` sub-options, query both views (``64``
    and ``32``) and merge the results (sorted and duplicates removed).

  ``32_64``
    For ``VALUE`` sub-option or default value, query the registry using view
    ``32``, and if the request failed, query the registry using view ``64``.
    For ``VALUE_NAMES`` and ``SUBKEYS`` sub-options, query both views (``32``
    and ``64``) and merge the results (sorted and duplicates removed).

  ``HOST``
    Query the registry matching the architecture of the host: ``64`` on ``64bit
    Windows`` and ``32`` on ``32bit Windows``.

  ``TARGET``
    Query the registry matching the architecture specified by
    :variable:`CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P` variable. If not defined, fallback to
    ``HOST`` view.

  ``BOTH``
    Query both views (``32`` and ``64``). The order depends of the following
    rules: If :variable:`CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P` variable is defined. Use the
    following view depending of the content of this variable:

    * ``8``: ``64_32``
    * ``4``: ``32_64``

    If :variable:`CMAKE_SIZEOF_VOID_P` variable is not defined, rely on
    architecture of the host:

    * ``64bit``: ``64_32``
    * ``32bit``: ``32``

``SEPARATOR``
  Specify the separator character for ``REG_MULTI_SZ`` type. When not
  specified, the character ``\0`` is used.

``ERROR_VARIABLE <result>``
  Returns any error raised during query operation. In case of success, the
  variable holds an empty string.
