UNAME(1)

🎀 UNAME(1) 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for uname(1), straight out of the General Commands Manual. it's the little command that tells you stuff about the system you're on. iconic. no notes. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

uname — print certain system information. With no OPTION, same as -s.

(yeah that's the same sentence as the description, that's not me being lazy, that's just how this page is built 🫶)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

uname [OPTION]...

that's it. that's the whole shape of it. one command, options optional, go off 👑

---

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

uname prints certain system information. and listen — if you give it no OPTION at all, it behaves like you typed -s. same vibe, no extra effort required. you literally just say uname and it's like "here's your kernel name, bestie" 🦋

---

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -a, --all — acts like you listed all of -mnrsvo at once. the full info dump. main character energy 🎀
• -A, --all-labeled — like -a, it prints all the information, but here it's one item per line, and each one is labeled. organized, aesthetic, lowkey superior ✨
• -s, --kernel-name — prints the kernel name.
• -n, --nodename — prints the nodename. quick lore drop: the nodename may be a name that the system is known by to a communications network 🌐
• -r, --kernel-release — prints the operating system release.
• -v, --kernel-version — prints the operating system version.
• -m, --machine — prints the machine hardware name.
• -o, --operating-system — prints the operating system name.
• -h, --help — print help 🫶
• -V, --version — print version 💜
