You may be looking for alternative OSes for ComputerCraft. If so, go to the list of OSes.
The Operating System API allows for interfacing with the Lua based Operating System itself. The functions of this API are:
- os.version() which returns the version
- os.computerID() which returns the computerID
- os.run( environment, programpath, arguments)
- os.loadAPI( name ) which loads an API
- os.unloadAPI( name ) which does the opposite
- os.pullEvent()
- os.queueEvent()
- os.clock() returns the CPU time.
- os.startTimer( timeout )
- os.sleep( timeout ) makes the system wait a bit before doing something. Helpful with fake loading.
- os.time() returns the MineCraft time.
- os.setAlarm( time )
- os.shutdown() which is exactly what is said on the tin.
- os.reboot() which does what it says.
