To solve this problem, this package introduces +"specifiers". A specifier has the format +`<os>|<arch>|<os>/<arch>[/<variant>]`. The user can provide either the +operating system or the architecture or both. + +An example of a common specifier is `linux/amd64`. If the host has a default +runtime that matches this, the user can simply provide the component that +matters. For example, if an image provides `amd64` and `arm64` support, the +operating system, `linux` can be inferred, so they only have to provide +`arm64` or `amd64`. Similar behavior is implemented for operating systems, +where the architecture may be known but a runtime may support images from +different operating systems. + +## Project details + +**platforms** is a containerd sub-project, licensed under the [Apache 2.0 license](./LICENSE). +As a containerd sub-project, you will find the: + * [Project governance](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/GOVERNANCE.md), + * [Maintainers](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/MAINTAINERS), + * and [Contributing guidelines](https://github.com/containerd/project/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md) + +information in our [`containerd/project`](https://github.com/containerd/project) repository.
