     uname — Print operating system name

SYNOPSIS
     uname [-amnprsv]

DESCRIPTION
     The uname utility writes symbols representing one or more system charac‐
     teristics to the standard output.

     The following options are available:

     -a	     Behave as though all of the options -mnrsv were specified.

     -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).

     -p	     print the machine processor architecture name.

     -r	     print the operating system release.

     -s	     print the operating system name.

     -v	     print the operating system version.

     If no options are specified, uname prints the operating system name as if
