    NAME
         uname - display information about the system

    SYNOPSIS
         uname [-amnrsv]

    DESCRIPTION
         The uname command writes the name of the operating system
         implementation to standard output.  When options are speci-
         fied, strings representing one or more system characteris-
         tics are written to standard output.

         The options are as follows:

         -a        Behave as though the options -m, -n, -r , -s, and
    	       -v were specified.

         -m        Write the type of the current hardware platform to
    	       standard output.

         -n        Write the name of the system to standard output.

         -r        Write the current release level of the operating
    	       system to standard output.

         -s        Write the name of the operating system implementa-
    	       tion to standard output.

         -v        Write the version level of this release of the
    	       operating system to standard output.

         If the -a flag is specified, or multiple flags are speci-
         fied, all output is written on a single line, separated by
         spaces.

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

    STANDARDS

         (``POSIX'') specification.
