uname - print system information
uname [-snrvma]
uname prints out system identification information. It's really just a
front end for the system call uname(2).
- -s
-
system
- -n
-
network node name
- -r
-
operating system release
- -v
-
operating system version
- -m
-
machine type
- -a
-
All of the above.
Multiple arguments print all information requested, but always in the order
``snrvma''.

There is no standard definition of what actually belongs in these fields.
What are acceptable values for, for example, ``machine type''?
uname(2)
