uname - get the name of the current system
Návod, kniha: POSIX Programmer's Manual
#include <sys/utsname.h>
int uname(struct utsname *
name);
The
uname() function shall store information identifying the current
system in the structure pointed to by
name.
The
uname() function uses the
utsname structure defined in
<sys/utsname.h>.
The
uname() function shall return a string naming the current system in
the character array
sysname. Similarly,
nodename shall contain
the name of this node within an implementation-defined communications network.
The arrays
release and
version shall further identify the
operating system. The array
machine shall contain a name that
identifies the hardware that the system is running on.
The format of each member is implementation-defined.
Upon successful completion, a non-negative value shall be returned. Otherwise,
-1 shall be returned and
errno set to indicate the error.
No errors are defined.
The following sections are informative.
None.
The inclusion of the
nodename member in this structure does not imply
that it is sufficient information for interfacing to communications networks.
The values of the structure members are not constrained to have any relation to
the version of this volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 implemented
in the operating system. An application should instead depend on
_POSIX_VERSION and related constants defined in
<unistd.h>.
This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 does not define the sizes of
the members of the structure and permits them to be of different sizes,
although most implementations define them all to be the same size: eight bytes
plus one byte for the string terminator. That size for
nodename is not
enough for use with many networks.
The
uname() function originated in System III, System V, and related
implementations, and it does not exist in Version 7 or 4.3 BSD. The values it
returns are set at system compile time in those historical implementations.
4.3 BSD has
gethostname() and
gethostid(), which return a symbolic
name and a numeric value, respectively. There are related
sethostname()
and
sethostid() functions that are used to set the values the other two
functions return. The former functions are included in this specification, the
latter are not.
None.
