## @deftypefn  {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{maxsize}, @var{endian}] =} computer ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {@var{arch} =} computer ("arch")
## Print or return a string of the form @var{cpu}-@var{vendor}-@var{os}
## that identifies the kind of computer Octave is running on.  If invoked
## with an output argument, the value is returned instead of printed.  For
## example:
##
## @example
## @group
## computer ()
##    @print{} i586-pc-linux-gnu
##
## x = computer ()
##    @result{} x = "i586-pc-linux-gnu"
## @end group
## @end example
##
## If two output arguments are requested, also return the maximum number
## of elements for an array.
##
## 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.
