PURPOSE

     Provides  information about  other systems  accessible to

SYNOPSIS
     uucp [-c][-d] source-files destination-files
          [-c -C][-d -f][-g grade -i -m -n user -r -s file -x debug-level]
          source-files destination-files

     uulog [-x][-s system][-number][-f system]

     uuname [-l]


DESCRIPTION

     The Basic Networking Utilities  (BNU) command uuname dis-
     plays a list of all  the computers networked to the local
     system; the  list of  accessible systems is  displayed on
     the screen of the local terminal.

     In order for a local  system to communicate with a remote
     system via BNU, the remote system must:

     o   have a UNIX-based operating system
     o   be connected to the local system.

     Note:  BNU  can be used  to communicate between an  RT PC
     and a non-UNIX-based operating  system, but such communi-
     cations may  require special  hardware or  software.  The
     remote systems  accessible with BNU commands  are identi-
     fied when the BNU programs  are installed, and are listed
     in /usr/adm/uucp/Systems.

     Before copying  a file  to another  system with  the uucp
     command, issue uuname to determine  the exact name of the
     remote system.

FLAGS

     -l    Displays the name of the local system.

EXAMPLES

     1.  To identify the remote systems connected to the local
         systems:

           uuname

         The system responds with a list like the following:

           hera
           zeus
           merlin
           arthur

     2.  To identify the local system:

           uuname -l

         The system responds:

           venus
