Hello,

I am doing a program in C on UNIX Platform. I am required to make it display the Machine Name, OS name and OS Release version using uname.

Now I went through the man pages and found out that uname can be implemented using -

#include <sys/utsname.h>

int uname (name)
struct utsname *name;

So after doing this step every time I do printf ("%s", name) ;

It displays the operating system name.

So I was trying to move forward and I tried printf ("%s", ++name) ;
And it gave me some long path name.

The third time I tried for release version - printf ("%s", ++name) ;

I got this segmentation error.

No matter how I try the printf I do not get release version and end up stalling on segmentation error.

Can someone help me out on this matter? I just need the correct format for running the various options of uname from the structure utsname.

Thanking You in Advance,
