uname(2)                  SYSTEM CALLS                   uname(2)



NAME
     uname - get name of current UNIX system

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/utsname.h>

     int uname(struct utsname *name);

DESCRIPTION
     uname stores information identifying the current UNIX system
     in the structure pointed to by name.

     uname uses the structure utsname defined in  <sys/utsname.h>
     whose members are:

          char sysname[SYSNMLN];
          char nodename[SYSNMLN];
          char release[SYSNMLN];
          char version[SYSNMLN];
          char machine[SYSNMLN];

     uname returns a null-terminated character string naming  the
     current  UNIX  system in the character array sysname.  Simi-
     larly, nodename contains the name that the system  is  known
     by on a communications network.  release and version further
     identify the operating system.  machine contains a  standard
     name  that  identifies  the hardware that the UNIX system is
     running on.

     EFAULT         uname fails if  name  points  to  an  invalid
                    address.

     returned.  Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and errno is
     set to indicate the error.
