       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

       which shall include at least the following members:

           char  sysname[]  Name of this implementation of the operating system.
           char  nodename[] Name of this node within the communications
                            network to which this node is attached, if any.
           char  release[]  Current release level of this implementation.
           char  version[]  Current version level of this release.
           char  machine[]  Name of the hardware type on which the system is running.

       The character arrays are of unspecified size, but the data stored
       in them shall be terminated by a null byte.

       The following shall be declared as a function and may also be
       defined as a macro:

           int uname(struct utsname *);
