       The system call uses the structure defined in whose members are:

	      char sysname[SYS_NMLN];
	      char nodename[SYS_NMLN];
	      char release[SYS_NMLN];
	      char version[SYS_NMLN];
	      char machine[SYS_NMLN];

       The constant SYS_NMLN is defined in

       The  system  call  returns a null-terminated character string naming the current ULTRIX system in the character array, sysname.	Similarly,
       nodename contains the name that the system is known by on a communications network.  The release and version further identify the operating
       system.	The machine contains a standard name that identifies the hardware that the ULTRIX system is running on.
