32 \fIUname\fP and \fIarch\fP give information about the system. The options
33 indicate which information strings must be printed. These strings are always
34 in the same order. \fIUname\fP and \fIarch\fP only differ w.r.t. the default
35 string to print, \fB\-s\fP and \fB\-p\fP respectively.
37 The strings are compiled into the commands except for the node name, it is
38 obtained from the file \fI/etc/hostname.file\fP. \fBUname \-m\fP should
39 return the actual machine type, not the same string as with \fB\-p\fP.
