## Print or return a string of the form @var{cpu}-@var{vendor}-@var{os} that
## identifies the type of computer that Octave is running on.
##
## If invoked with an output argument, the value is returned instead of
## printed.  For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## computer ()
##    @print{} x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
##
## mycomp = computer ()
##    @xresult{} mycomp = x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If two output arguments are requested, also return the maximum number of
## elements for an array.  This will depend on whether Octave has been
## compiled with 32-bit or 64-bit index vectors.
##
## If three output arguments are requested, also return the byte order of the
## current system as a character (@qcode{"B"} for big-endian or @qcode{"L"}
## for little-endian).
##
## If the argument @qcode{"arch"} is specified, return a string indicating the
## architecture of the computer on which Octave is running.
##
## Results may be different if Octave was invoked with the --traditional
## option.
