uname

uname(2)							System Calls Manual							  uname(2)

NAME

       uname - Gets the name of the current system

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/utsname.h>

       int uname(
	       struct utsname *name);

STANDARDS

       Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to industry standards as follows:

       uname(): XSH5.0

       Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information about industry standards and associated tags.

PARAMETERS

       Points to a utsname structure.

DESCRIPTION

       The uname() function stores information identifying the current system in the structure pointed to by the name parameter.

       The  uname()  function uses the utsname structure, which is defined in the sys/utsname.h file and contains the following members: char sys-
       name[_SYS_NMLN]; char nodename[_SYS_NMLN]; char release[_SYS_NMLN]; char version[_SYS_NMLN]; char machine[_SYS_NMLN];

       The uname() function returns a null-terminated character string naming the current system in the  sysname  character  array.  The  nodename
       array  contains	the name that the system is known by on a communications network. The release and version arrays further identify the sys-
       tem. The machine array identifies the CPU hardware being used.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, a nonnegative value is returned.  Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       If the uname() function fails, errno may be set to the following value: [Tru64 UNIX]  The name parameter  points  outside  of  the  process
       address space.
