I am using vim in a terminal on my mac.

I understand that the command:

echo has('mac')

should return 1 (it does on macvim), because it's running on a mac. But it returns 0. Can anyone tell me why this is, and if there's a more reliable way of detecting if vim is running on osx?

EDIT: :echo has('macunix') also returns 0

EDIT2: :echo has('osx') also returns 0

    See the second answer, by romainl, here: Detect OS in Vimscript. You need to use uname.
