It is some times hard to understand the difference between kernel version and userland version. So clarify the -r option of uname(1) in terms of a printed kernel version. While here, add some cross references: - cross reference freebsd-version(1) in uname(1) - cross reference freebsd-version(1) and uname(1) in freebsd-update(8) PR: 265594 Reported by: rwatson Reviewed by: gbe, imp MFC after: 1 week Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D36516

.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl abiKmnoprsUv
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command writes the name of the operating system implementation to
|
|
standard output.
|
|
When options are specified, strings representing one or more system
|
|
characteristics are written to standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Behave as though the options
|
|
.Fl m , n , r , s ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
were specified.
|
|
.It Fl b
|
|
Write the kernel's linker-generated build-id to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Write the kernel ident to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl K
|
|
Write the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
version of the kernel.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Write the type of the current hardware platform to standard output.
|
|
.Po Xr make 1
|
|
uses it to set the
|
|
.Va MACHINE
|
|
variable.
|
|
.Pc
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Write the name of the system to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl o
|
|
This is a synonym for the
|
|
.Fl s
|
|
option, for compatibility with other systems.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Write the type of the machine processor architecture to standard output.
|
|
.Po Xr make 1
|
|
uses it to set the
|
|
.Va MACHINE_ARCH
|
|
variable.
|
|
.Pc
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Write the current release level of the kernel
|
|
to standard output.
|
|
.Xr freebsd-version 1
|
|
can be used to print the release level of the userland.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Write the name of the operating system implementation to standard output.
|
|
.It Fl U
|
|
Write the
|
|
.Fx
|
|
version of the user environment.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Write the version level of this release of the operating system
|
|
to standard output.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fl a
|
|
flag is specified, or multiple flags are specified, all
|
|
output is written on a single line, separated by spaces.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl K
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl U
|
|
flags are intended to be used for fine grain differentiation of incremental
|
|
.Fx
|
|
development and user visible changes.
|
|
Note that when both of these two options are specified, regardless of their
|
|
order, the kernel version would be printed first, followed by the user
|
|
environment version.
|
|
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
An environment variable composed of the string
|
|
.Ev UNAME_
|
|
followed by any flag to the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility (except for
|
|
.Fl a )
|
|
will allow the corresponding data to be set to the contents
|
|
of the environment variable.
|
|
See
|
|
.Xr uname 3
|
|
for more information.

.Sh EXIT STATUS
|
|
.Ex -std
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The hardware platform
|
|
.Pq Fl m
|
|
can be different from the machine's processor architecture
|
|
.Pq Fl p ,
|
|
e.g., on 64-bit PowerPC,
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
would return
|
|
.Va powerpc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
would return
|
|
.Va powerpc64 .
