# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.
Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.

Add "os record" support.
# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
This don't change how path add works but just adds support for "os
records" aka records whose key are at least one of:
- linux
- macos
- windows
Check the
[test](a917f1a924/crates/nu-std/tests/test_std.nu (L31-L32)
)
if that's not clear enough
# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.
Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library
> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!
The standard library is a pure-nushell
collection of custom commands which
provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.
To see what's here:
> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│ # │ name │ usage │
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 0 │ std assert │ Universal assert command │
│ 1 │ std assert equal │ Assert $left == $right │
. . .
│ 11 │ std clip │ put the end of a pipe into the system clipboard. │
│ 12 │ std dirs add │ Add one or more directories to the list. │
. . .

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts
All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment
(the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu
script) using the
use
command.
You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std
prefix, e.g:
use std
std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)
Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std
prefix.
use std ["log debug" assert]
log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)
This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu
for interactive use.
