UNAME(C)                                   UNIX System V



     Name
          uname - prints the name of the current system


     Syntax
          uname [ -snrvma ]
          uname [ -S system name ]


     Description
          The uname command prints the current system name of the UNIX
          system  on the standard output file.  It is mainly useful to
          determine which system one  is  using.   The  options  cause
          selected information returned by uname(S) to be printed:

          -s   print  system name (default).

          -n   print nodename (the nodename is the name by  which  the
               system is known to a communications network).

          -r   print the operating system release.

          -v   print the operating system version.

     -m print the machine hardware name.

          -a   print all the above information.

          On your computer, the system name and the  nodename  may  be
          changed  by  specifying  a  system  name  argument to the -S
          option.   The  system  name  argument  is  restricted  to  8
          characters.  Only the super-user is allowed this capability.
