i can only assume you didnt install it so that would leave to believe 1 of 2 things.

1) your an employee and should ask your local unix administrator.

2) your a student and this is a homework questions.

edit:

after reading all of your previos posts the best help you can give yourself is reading the man pages for the commands you are trying to learn.

you say you are in highschool but at the same time you are asking what kinda os you are running..... this does not make sense.

highschool dont have shell accounts. so you would have to install the os yourself. if thats the case then you should already know which os you installed. if that is not the case then you are takeing some kinda class that gives you a shell account and you are just a bit curious which is fine.

you are most likely running some sort of linux but i cant be for sure because i dont use linux at all. but i am sure google.com will come up with a deffinetive answer real quick.

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.

KEYWORDS

       operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
