  NAME

    uname - Displays name of current UNIX system

  SYNOPSIS

    uname [-snrvma]

    uname [-S system-name]

  FLAGS

    -s   Displays the system name (default).

    -n   Displays the nodename (the nodename is the name by which the system
         is known to a communications network).

    -r   Displays the operating system release.

    -v   Displays the operating system version.

    -m   Displays the machine hardware name.

    -a   Displays all the above information.

  DESCRIPTION

    The uname command displays the current system-name of the UNIX system on
    stdout.  It is mainly useful to determine which system one is using.

    On the 3B2 computer, the system name and the nodename may be changed by
    specifying a system name argument to the -S flag.  The system name
    argument is restricted to 8 characters.  Only the superuser is allowed
    this capability.

  EXAMPLES

    To display the nodename of your machine on stdout, enter the following:

    uname -n


  EXIT VALUES

    The uname command exits with a value 0 if it succeeds and a value of 1 if
    it fails.
