uname(1)                         DG/UX 5.4.2                        uname(1)


NAME
       uname - print name of current system

SYNOPSIS
       uname [ -amnprsv ]

DESCRIPTION
       Uname prints the current system name of the DG/UX system on the
       standard output file.  It is mainly useful to determine which system
       you are using.  The options print selected information returned by
       uname(2) and sysinfo(2):

       -a     Print all information.

       -m     Print the machine hardware name.

       -n     Print the nodename (the nodename may be a name that the system
              is known by to a communications network).

       -p     Print the current host's processor type.

       -r     Print the operating system release.

       -s     Print the name of the operating system.  This is the default.

       -v     Print the operating system version.

EXAMPLES
       $ uname
       dgux
       $

       Prints the system name on the standard output.

       $ uname -a
       dgux sys08 5.4 generic AViiON mc88100
       $

       Prints the system name, the nodename, the operating system release,
       the operating system version, the machine hardware name, and the
       processor type on the standard output.

       $ PS1=`uname`; export PS1
       dgux

       Sets the primary shell prompt to the name of the system and makes the
       new value of the variable available to all the shells that you
       initiate.  Note that the uname command is in backquotes.

       The command hostname(1C) and the system call sethostname(2) modify
       the system's nodename, and thus change the value returned by uname
       -n.
