uname(2)                                                 uname(2)



     NAME
          uname - get name of current system

     SYNOPSIS
          #include <sys/utsname.h>

          int uname (name)
          struct utsname *name;

     DESCRIPTION
          uname stores information identifying the current system in
          the structure pointed to by name.

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

               struct  utsname {
                       char       sysname[9];
                       char       nodename[9];
                       char       release[9];
                       char       version[9];
                       char       machine[9];
               };
               extern struct utsname utsname;

          uname returns a null-terminated character string naming the
          current system in the character array sysname.  Similarly,
          nodename contains the name that the system is known by on a
          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.

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

     RETURN VALUE
          Upon successful completion, a non-negative value is
          returned.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to
          indicate the error.
