DESCRIPTION
Uname and arch give information about the system. The
options indicate which information strings must be printed.
These strings are always in the same order. Uname and arch
only differ w.r.t. the default string to print, -s and -p
respectively.
The strings are compiled into the commands except for the
node name, it is obtained from the file /etc/hostname.file.
Uname -m should return the actual machine type, not the same
string as with -p.
