class Uname

This class provides various system information

Description

An instance of this class has a number of string variables which give various information about the computer system the program is running on. Some of the variables may not be meaningful on some systems. They are: sysname - the name of the operating system (eg. "Linux"); release - the release level of the operating system; version - the version level of this release of the operating system; machine - the hardware type (eg. "i386"); nodename - the hostname of the system. Note that on some systems nodename isn't guaranteed to provide the system hostname or may be limited to 8 characters. Network.getHostname() is a more portable way to obtain the system hostname.
