% \section{The name of the job}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2015-09-19, updated = 2019-10-27]{\c_sys_jobname_str}
%   Constant that gets the \enquote{job name} assigned when \TeX{} starts.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     This is the \TeX{} primitive \tn{jobname}. For technical
%     reasons, the string here is not of the same internal form as other,
%     but may be manipulated using normal string functions.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{variable}

% \section{Date and time}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2015-09-22]

%     \c_sys_day_int,
%     \c_sys_month_int,
%     \c_sys_year_int,
%   }
%   The date and time at which the current job was started: these are
%   all reported as integers.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     Whilst the underlying \TeX{} primitives \tn{time}, \tn{day}, \tn{month},
%     and~\tn{year} can be altered by the user, this
%     interface to the time and date is intended to be the \enquote{real}
%     values.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2023-08-27]{\c_sys_timestamp_str}
%   The timestamp for the current job: the format is as described for
%   \cs{file_timestamp:n}.
% \end{variable}
%
% \section{Engine}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2015-09-07, EXP, pTF]
%   {
%     \sys_if_engine_luatex:,
%     \sys_if_engine_pdftex:,

%     \sys_if_engine_uptex: ,
%     \sys_if_engine_xetex:
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_engine_pdftex_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_engine_pdftex:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Conditionals which allow engine-specific code to be used. The names
%   follow naturally from those of the engine binaries: note that the
%   |(u)ptex| tests are for \epTeX{} and \eupTeX{} as \pkg{expl3} requires
%   the \eTeX{} extensions. Each conditional is true for
%   \emph{exactly one} supported engine. In particular,
%   |\sys_if_engine_ptex_p:| is true for \epTeX{} but false for \eupTeX{}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2024-11-05, pTF]{\sys_if_engine_opentype:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_engine_opentype_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_engine_opentype:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Conditional which allows functionality-specific code to be used.
%   The test is true for engines which can use OpenType fonts and
%   thus full Unicode typesetting. This tests for features not engine
%   name, but currently is equivalent to requiring either
%   \XeTeX{} or \LuaTeX{}.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     The underlying test here checks for \tn{Umathcode}, which
%     is used to implement OpenType math font typesetting. Any
%     engine which should give a \texttt{true} result here needs
%     to provide general Unicode support (accepting the full UTF-8
%     range for character codes), a mechanism to load system fonts
%     and a suitable interface for math mode typesetting.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2015-09-19]{\c_sys_engine_str}
%   The current engine given as a lower case string: one of
%   |luatex|, |pdftex|, |ptex|, |uptex| or |xetex|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2020-08-20]{\c_sys_engine_exec_str}
%   The name of the standard executable for the current \TeX{} engine given
%   as a lower case string: one of  |luatex|,
%   |luahbtex|, |pdftex|, |eptex|, |euptex| or |xetex|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2020-08-20]{\c_sys_engine_format_str}
%   The name of the preloaded format for the current \TeX{} run given
%   as a lower case string: one of
%   |lualatex| (or |dvilualatex|),
%   |pdflatex| (or |latex|), |platex|, |uplatex| or |xelatex| for \LaTeX{},
%   similar names for plain \TeX{} (except \pdfTeX{} in DVI mode yields
%   |etex|), and |cont-en| for Con\TeX{}t (i.e.~the
%   \tn{fmtname}).
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2018-05-02]{\c_sys_engine_version_str}
%   The version string of the current engine, in the same form as
%   given in the banner issued when running a job. For \pdfTeX{}
%   and \LuaTeX{} this is of the form
%   \begin{quote}
%     \meta{major}.\meta{minor}.\meta{revision}
%   \end{quote}
%   For \XeTeX{}, the form is
%   \begin{quote}
%     \meta{major}.\meta{minor}
%   \end{quote}
%   For \pTeX{} and \upTeX{}, only releases since \TeX{} Live 2018
%   make the data available, and the form is more complex, as it comprises
%   the \pTeX{} version, the \upTeX{} version and the e-\pTeX{} version.
%   \begin{quote}
%     p\meta{major}.\meta{minor}.\meta{revision}-u\meta{major}.\meta{minor}^^A
%     -\meta{epTeX}
%   \end{quote}
%   where the |u| part is only present for \upTeX{}.

%
% \begin{function}[added = 2021-05-12, EXP]{\sys_timer:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_timer:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the current value of the engine's timer clock, a
%   non-negative integer.  This function is only defined for engines with
%   timer support.  This command measures not just CPU time but
%   real time (including time waiting for user input).  The unit are
%   scaled seconds ($2^{-16}$ seconds).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2021-05-12, EXP, pTF]{\sys_if_timer_exist:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_timer_exist_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_timer_exist:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}

%   Tests whether current engine has timer support.

% \section{Output format}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2015-09-19, EXP, pTF]
%   {
%     \sys_if_output_dvi:,
%     \sys_if_output_pdf:
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_output_dvi_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_output_dvi:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Conditionals which give the current output mode the \TeX{} run is
%   operating in. This is always one of two outcomes, DVI mode or
%   PDF mode. The two sets of conditionals are thus complementary and
%   are both provided to allow the programmer to emphasise the most
%   appropriate case.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2015-09-19]{\c_sys_output_str}
%   The current output mode given as a lower case string: one of
%   |dvi| or |pdf|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \section{Platform}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2018-07-27, EXP, pTF]
%   {
%     \sys_if_platform_unix:,
%     \sys_if_platform_windows:
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_platform_unix_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_platform_unix:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Conditionals which allow platform-specific code to be used. The names
%   follow the \Lua{} |os.type()| function, \emph{i.e.}~all Unix-like systems
%   are |unix| (including Linux and MacOS).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2018-07-27]{\c_sys_platform_str}
%   The current platform given as a lower case string: one of
%   |unix|, |windows| or |unknown|.
% \end{variable}
%
% \section{Random numbers}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27, EXP]{\sys_rand_seed:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_rand_seed:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the current value of the engine's random seed, a
%   non-negative integer.  In engines without random number support this
%   expands to $0$.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27]{\sys_gset_rand_seed:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_gset_rand_seed:n} \Arg{int expr}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Globally sets the seed for the engine's pseudo-random number
%   generator to the \meta{integer expression}.  This random seed
%   affects all \cs[no-index]{\ldots{}_rand} functions (such as
%   \cs{int_rand:nn} or \cs{clist_rand_item:n}) as well as other
%   packages relying on the engine's random number generator.  In
%   engines without random number support this produces an error.
%   \begin{texnote}
%     While a $32$-bit (signed) integer can be given as a seed, only the
%     absolute value is used and any number beyond $2^{28}$ is divided
%     by an appropriate power of~$2$.  We recommend using an integer in
%     $[0,2^{28}-1]$.
%   \end{texnote}
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Access to the shell}
%
% \begin{function}[noTF, added = 2019-09-20]
%   {\sys_get_shell:nnN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_get_shell:nnN} \Arg{shell~command} \Arg{setup} \meta{tl~var}
%     \cs{sys_get_shell:nnNTF} \Arg{shell~command} \Arg{setup} \meta{tl~var} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines \meta{tl~var} to the text returned by the \meta{shell command}.
%   The \meta{shell command} is converted to a string using
%   \cs{tl_to_str:n}.  Category codes may need to be set appropriately
%   via the \meta{setup} argument, which is run just before running the
%   \meta{shell command} (in a group).
%   If shell escape is disabled, the \meta{tl~var} will be set to
%   \cs{q_no_value} in the non-branching version.
%   Note that quote characters (|"|) \emph{cannot} be used inside the
%   \meta{shell command}.  The \cs{sys_get_shell:nnNTF} conditional
%   inserts the \meta{true code} if the shell is available and no quote is
%   detected, and the \meta{false code} otherwise.
%
%   \emph{Note}: It is not possible to tell from \TeX{} if a command is allowed
%   in restricted shell escape. If restricted escape is enabled, the
%   \texttt{true} branch is taken: if the command is forbidden at this stage, a
%   low-level \TeX{} error will arise.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}[added = 2017-05-27]{\c_sys_shell_escape_int}
%   This variable exposes the internal triple of the shell escape
%   status.  The possible values are
%   \begin{description}
%   \item[0] Shell escape is disabled
%   \item[1] Unrestricted shell escape is enabled
%   \item[2] Restricted shell escape is enabled
%   \end{description}
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27, EXP, pTF]{\sys_if_shell:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Performs a check for whether shell escape is enabled.  This
%   returns true if either of restricted or unrestricted shell escape
%   is enabled.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27, EXP, pTF]{\sys_if_shell_unrestricted:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell_unrestricted_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell_unrestricted:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Performs a check for whether \emph{unrestricted} shell escape is
%   enabled.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27, EXP, pTF]{\sys_if_shell_restricted:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell_restricted_p:}
%     \cs{sys_if_shell_restricted:TF} \Arg{true code} \Arg{false code}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Performs a check for whether \emph{restricted} shell escape is
%   enabled.  This returns false if unrestricted shell escape is
%   enabled.  Unrestricted shell escape is not considered a superset
%   of restricted shell escape in this case.  To find whether any
%   shell escape is enabled use \cs{sys_if_shell:TF}.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27]
%   {\sys_shell_now:n, \sys_shell_now:e}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_shell_now:n} \Arg{tokens}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Execute \meta{tokens} through shell escape immediately.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2017-05-27]
%   {\sys_shell_shipout:n, \sys_shell_shipout:e}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_shell_shipout:n} \Arg{tokens}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Execute \meta{tokens} through shell escape at shipout.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{System queries}
%
% Some queries can be made about the file system, etc., without needing to
% use unrestricted shell escape. This is carried out using the script
% \texttt{l3sys-query}, which is documented separately. The wrappers here
% use this script, if available, to obtain system information that is
% not directly available within the \TeX{} run. Note that if restricted
% shell escape is disabled, no results can be obtained.
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2024-03-08, updated = 2024-04-08]
%   {\sys_get_query:nN, \sys_get_query:nnN, \sys_get_query:nnnN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_get_query:nN} \Arg{cmd} \meta{tl var}
%     \cs{sys_get_query:nnN} \Arg{cmd} \Arg{spec} \meta{tl var}
%     \cs{sys_get_query:nnnN} \Arg{cmd} \Arg{options} \Arg{spec} \meta{tl var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the \meta{tl var} to the information returned by the
%   \texttt{l3sys-query} \meta{cmd}, potentially supplying the \meta{options}
%   and \meta{spec} to the query call. The valid \meta{cmd} names are at present
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item \texttt{pwd} Returns the present working directory
%     \item \texttt{ls} Returns a directory listing, using the \meta{spec} to
%       select files and applying the \meta{options} if given
%   \end{itemize}
%   The \meta{spec} is likely to contain the wildcards |*| or |?|,
%   and will automatically be passed to
%   the script without shell expansion. In a glob is needed within the
%   \meta{options}, this will need to be protected from shell expansion
%   using |'| tokens.
%
%   The \meta{spec} and \meta{options}, if given, are expanded fully
%   before passing to the underlying script.
%
%   Spaces in the output are stored as active tokens, allowing them to be
%   replaced by for example a visible space easily. Other non-letter
%   characters in the ASCII range are set to category code~12.  The category
%   codes for characters out of the ASCII range are left unchanged: typically
%   this will mean that with an 8-bit engine, accented values can be typeset
%   directly whilst in Unicode engines, standard category code setup will
%   apply.
%
%   If more than one line of text is returned by the \meta{cmd}, these will be
%   separated by character~13 (|^^M|) tokens of category code~12. In most
%   cases, \cs{sys_split_query:nnnN} should be preferred when multi-line
%   output is expected.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2024-03-08]
%   {\sys_split_query:nN, \sys_split_query:nnN, \sys_split_query:nnnN}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_split_query:nN} \Arg{cmd} \meta{seq var}
%     \cs{sys_split_query:nnN} \Arg{cmd} \Arg{spec} \meta{seq var}
%     \cs{sys_split_query:nnnN} \Arg{cmd} \Arg{options} \Arg{spec} \meta{seq var}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Works as described for \cs{sys_split_query:nnnN}, but sets the \meta{seq var}
%   to contain one entry for each line returned by \texttt{l3sys-query}.
%   This function should therefore be preferred where multi-line return is
%   expected, e.g.~for the \texttt{ls} command.
% \end{function}
%
% \section{Loading configuration data}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2019-09-12]{\sys_load_backend:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_load_backend:n} \Arg{backend}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Loads the additional configuration file needed for backend support.
%   If the \meta{backend} is empty, the standard backend for the engine in
%   use will be loaded. This command may only be used once.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[added = 2022-07-29]{\sys_ensure_backend:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{sys_ensure_backend:}

%   Ensures that a backend has been loaded by calling \cs{sys_load_backend:n}
%   if required.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\c_sys_backend_str}
%   Set to the name of the backend in use by \cs{sys_load_backend:n} when
%   issued. Possible values are
%   \begin{itemize}
%    \item \texttt{pdftex}
%    \item \texttt{luatex}
%    \item \texttt{xetex}

%   as it is the \emph{actual} engine name, not a \enquote{filtered}
%   version.  It differs for |ptex| and |uptex|, which have a leading
%   |e|, and for |luatex|, because \LaTeX{} uses the \Lua HB\TeX{}
%   engine.
%
%   \cs{c_sys_engine_format_str} is quite similar to
%   \cs{c_sys_engine_str}, except that it differentiates |pdflatex| from
%   |latex| (which is \pdfTeX{} in DVI mode).  This differentiation,
%   however, is reliable only if the user doesn't change
%   \cs{tex_pdfoutput:D} before loading this code.
