UNAME(1-SVR4)       RISC/os Reference Manual        UNAME(1-SVR4)



NAME
     uname - print name of current UNIX system

SYNOPSIS
     uname [ -a ] [ -m ] [ -n ] [ -p ] [ -r ] [ -s ] [ -v ]
     uname [ -S system_name ]

DESCRIPTION
     uname prints the current system name of the UNIX system to
     standard output.  It is mainly useful to determine which
     system one is using.  The options cause selected information
     returned by uname(2) and/or sysinfo(2) to be printed:

     a    Print all information.

     m    Print the machine hardware name.

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

     p    Print the current host's processor type.

     r    Print the operating system release.

     s    Print the name of the operating system (e.g., RISC/os
          5.0).  This is the default.

     v    Print the operating system version.

     The system name argument to the S option is restricted to
     SYS_NMLN characters.  SYS_NMLN is an implementation specific
     value defined in <sys/utsname.h>.  Only the superuser is
     allowed this capability.
