uname - get name and information about current kernel
int uname(struct utsname *buf);
struct utsname { char sysname[]; /* Operating system name (e.g., "Linux") */ char nodename[]; /* Name within "some implementation-defined network" */ char release[]; /* OS release (e.g., "2.6.28") */ char version[]; /* OS version */ char machine[]; /* Hardware identifier */ #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE char domainname[]; /* NIS or YP domain name */ #endif };The length of the arrays in a struct utsname is unspecified; the fields are terminated by a null byte (aq\0aq).
The domainname member (the NIS or YP domain name) is a GNU extension.
To this end Linux uses the system calls sethostname(2) and setdomainname(2). Note that there is no standard that says that the hostname set by sethostname(2) is the same string as the nodename field of the struct returned by uname() (indeed, some systems allow a 256-byte hostname and an 8-byte nodename), but this is true on Linux. The same holds for setdomainname(2) and the domainname field.
The length of the fields in the struct varies. Some operating systems or libraries use a hardcoded 9 or 33 or 65 or 257. Other systems use SYS_NMLN or _SYS_NMLN or UTSLEN or _UTSNAME_LENGTH. Clearly, it is a bad idea to use any of these constants; just use sizeof(...). Often 257 is chosen in order to have room for an internet hostname.
Part of the utsname information is also accessible via /proc/sys/kernel/{ostype, hostname, osrelease, version, domainname}.
Over time, increases in the size of the utsname structure have led to three successive versions of uname(): sys_olduname() (slot __NR_oldolduname), sys_uname() (slot __NR_olduname), and sys_newuname() (slot __NR_uname). The first one used length 9 for all fields; the second used 65; the third also uses 65 but adds the domainname field. The glibc uname() wrapper function hides these details from applications, invoking the most recent version of the system call provided by the kernel.
