UNAME(3) Library Functions Manual UNAME(3) NAME uname - identify machine and kernel SYNOPSIS #include <utsname.h> int uname(name) struct utsname *name; DESCRIPTION Uname stores information identifying the current UNIX system in the structure pointed to by name. struct utsname { char sysname[32]; char nodename[32]; char release[32]; char version[32]; }; Uname returns a null-terminated character string naming the current UNIX system in the character array sysname. Similarly, nodename con- tains the name that the system is known by on some communications net- work. Release and version further identify the operating system. FILES BUGS Since a machine can have different names on different networks, nodename is pretty useless. This call is a partial simulation of one appearing in other systems. Sysname and nodename are copied from the other fields are meaningless. UNAME(3)
