| description: | |
| Provides information about the host machine -- the machine on which the |
| compiled binary will run. See |
| [Cross-compilation](Cross-compilation.md). |
| |
| It has the same methods as [[@build_machine]]. |
| |
| When not cross-compiling, all the methods return the same values as |
| [[@build_machine]] (because the build machine is the host machine) |
| |
| Note that while cross-compiling, it simply returns the values defined |
| in the cross-info file. |
