NAME
     uname - print operating system name

SYNOPSIS
     uname [-amnprsv]

DESCRIPTION
     The uname utility writes symbols representing one or more system
     characteristics to the standard output.

     The options are as follows:

     -a	     Behave as though all of the options -mnrsv were specified.

     -m	     Print the machine hardware name.

     -n	     Print the nodename (the nodename may be a name that the system is
	     known by to a communications network).

     -p	     Print the processor type in more detail.

     -r	     Print the operating system release.

     -s	     Print the operating system name.

     -v	     Print the operating system version.

     If no options are specified, uname prints the operating system name as if
     the -s option had been specified.

EXIT STATUS
     The uname utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO
     hostname(1), machine(1), uname(3)

STANDARDS
     The uname utility is compliant with the IEEE Std 1003.1-2008 (``POSIX'')
     specification.

     The flag [-p] is an extension to that specification.

HISTORY
     The uname command appeared in 4.4BSD.
