uname (short for unix name) is a computer program in Unix and Unix-like computer operating systems that prints the name, version and other details about the current machine and the operating system running on it.

History

[edit]

The uname system call and command appeared for the first time in PWB/UNIX. Both are specified by POSIX.[1][2] The GNU version of uname is included in the "sh-utils" or "coreutils" packages. uname itself is not available as a standalone program. The version of uname bundled in GNU coreutils was written by David MacKenzie.[3] The command is available as a separate package for Microsoft Windows as part of the GnuWin32 project[4] and the UnxUtils collection of native Win32 ports of common GNU Unix-like utilities.[5]

[edit]
  • Some Unix variants, such as AT&T UNIX System V Release 3.0, include the related setname program, used to change the values that uname reports.
  • The ver command found in operating systems such as DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows is similar to the uname command.
  • The bash shell provides the special variables OSTYPE and HOSTTYPE whose values are similar to those of uname -o and uname -m respectively.

Examples

[edit]

On a system running Darwin, the output from running uname with the -a command-line argument might look like the text below: 

$ uname -a

The following table contains examples from various versions of uname on various platforms.[6]
