+#
+# 'what' can be one of
+# * target: Returns the target name ("<arch>-<os>")
+# * endianess: Return "be" for big endian targets, "le" for little endian
+# * bits: Returns the bit size of the target, either "32" or "64"
+# * libc: Returns the name of the c library used by the target
+#
+# It is an error for the target not to exist.
