UNAME(1)                     BSD Reference Manual                     UNAME(1)

NAME
     uname - print system name and other information

SYNOPSIS
     uname [-amnrsv]

DESCRIPTION
     The uname utility prints various identifying attributes of the current
     BSD system on its standard output, as provided by the uname(3) function.
     By default uname prints the name of the operating system; command-line
     options can be used to force other information to be printed.  There are
     several options:

     -a    Print all of the available information.

     -m    Print the CPU hardware type.

     -n    Print the nodename (which is POSIX-speak for ``hostname'').

     -r    Print the operating system release string.

     -s    Print the name of the operating system (this is the default).

     -v    Print the operating system version number.

     When more than one item is printed, the order used is operating system
     name, node name, release, version number and CPU type.
