     NAME
          uname - print name of current UNIX system

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

     DESCRIPTION
          uname 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(2) to be printed:

          -s   print the system name (default).

          -n   print the 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.

          The system name argument is restricted to 8 characters.
          Only the super-user is allowed this capability.
