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
