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.
