7 ``mozinfo`` is a solution for representing a subset of build
8 configuration and run-time data.
10 ``mozinfo`` data is typically accessed through a ``mozinfo.json`` file
11 which is written to the :term:`object directory` during build
12 configuration. The code for writing this file lives in
13 :py:mod:`mozbuild.mozinfo`.
15 ``mozinfo.json`` is an object/dictionary of simple string values.
17 The attributes in ``mozinfo.json`` are used for many purposes. One use
18 is to filter tests for applicability to the current build. For more on
19 this, see :ref:`test_manifests`.

119 of the ``OS_TARGET`` variable from ``config.status``.
124 Information about the processor architecture this build targets.
126 Values come from ``TARGET_CPU``, however some massaging may be
129 If the build is a universal build on Mac (it targets both 32-bit and
130 64-bit), the value is ``universal-x86-x86_64``.
