Ok, so here's the source:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/utsname.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
	struct utsname name;
	if(uname(&name)) exit(-1);
	printf("Your computer's OS is %s@%s\n", name.sysname, name.release);
	return 0;
}

So should I forward my bank connection to you?

Capture Os name
yeah,its working.

can you also tell us how this can be done on windows.
we need to know the structure name/ header file probably to print the OS details.

do we have any portable code which prints the OS name regardless of the OS we are using.

thanks.

There is no universally portable way to retrieve the name of the OS.

If you are looking for answers to questions relating to Microsoft Windows, you should ask such questions in a Windows-related forum.
