NAME
     uname - get general system information

SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/utsname.h>

     int uname(un)
     struct utsname *un;

DESCRIPTION
     uname stores information identifying the current operating
     system and machine into the structure pointed to by the
     argument.

     The utsname structure is defined in the include file
     <sys/utsname.h>.  It consists of 13 fields, 7 of which are
     defined and the rest of which are reserved for future use.
     The currently defined fields are:

     sysname             The network identification name (same as
                         the hostname).

     nodename            The network identification name (same as
                         the hostname and the above sysname
                         field).

     release             The operating system release name.

     version             The MIPS system version number.

     machine             The hardware type.

     mtype              (MIPS-specific) The MIPS hardware type.

     baserel            (MIPS-specific) The base release for the
                         system.

     Each of these items is a null-terminated character array.

     The valid values for these fields are defined in the
     utsname.h include file.

     If successful, uname will return a non-negative value; oth-
     erwise, it will return -1 and errno will indicate the error.

ERRORS
     If the following condition occurs, uname returns -1 and set
     errno to the corresponding value:

     [EFAULT]            un points outside the process' allocated
                         address space.
