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.
