DESCRIPTION
     The uname utility writes symbols representing one or more system charac-

     -m      Print the machine hardware name.

     -n      Print the nodename (the nodename may be a name that the system is
             known by to a communications network).

     -s      Print the operating system name.

     -r      Print the operating system release.
