10.14 The uname Command

Apart from the hostname command, you can also use the uname -n command to display the hostname of your system. Without any flags, the uname command will display the operating system that your are using.

You can also use the uname -x command to display:

• The operating system that your are using

• The hostname

• The machine ID number of the hardware running the system

• The release number of the operating system

• The operating system version

• The system model name

A few examples of the use of the uname command is shown in Figure 100.
