UNAME(2)                             SysV                             UNAME(2)



NAME
     uname - get name of current UNIX system

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/utsname.h>

     int uname (name)
     struct utsname *name;

DESCRIPTION
     uname stores information identifying the current Domain/OS SysV system in
     the structure pointed to by name.

     uname uses the structure defined in <sys/utsname.h> whose members are:

          char sysname[9];
          char nodename[9];
          char release[9];
          char version[9];
          char machine[9];

     uname returns a null terminated character string naming the current
     Domain/OS SysV system in the character array sysname.  Similarly,
     nodename contains the name that the system is known by on a dial-up
     communications network.  release and version further identify the
     operating system.  machine contains a standard name that identifies the
     hardware that the system is running on.

DIAGNOSTICS
     A successful call returns a non-negative value.  A failed call returns -1
     and sets errno as indicated below.

ERRORS
     [EFAULT]  uname will fail if name points to an invalid address.
