uname - get system info

#include <sys/utsname.h>

int uname(struct utsname *name)

Uname() fills a struct utsname with system information. This structure is described in <sys/utsname.h> as follows:

struct utsname {
 char sysname[15+1]; /* System name */
 char nodename[255+1]; /* Node/Network name */
 char release[11+1]; /* O.S. release */
 char version[7+1]; /* O.S. version */
 char machine[11+1]; /* Machine hardware */
 char arch[11+1]; /* Architecture */
};

The strings are always null terminated, and may be of a different length then shown here. The first five are required by \s-2POSIX\s+2, the last is MINIX 3 specific.
