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).
system
network node name
operating system release
operating system version
machine type
All of the above.
Multiple arguments print all information requested, but always in the order "snrvma".

uname(2)
