This field	is
sysnam	The operating system
nodename	The sharing node name.
release	The release number of system software.

If it is successful, uname() returns zero. If it encounters an error, uname() returns -1 and sets errno.

	uname(&name);
	
	printf("Operating System: %s\n", name.sysname);
	printf("Node Name:        %s\n", name.nodename);
	printf("Release:          %s\n", name.release);
	printf("Version:          %s\n", name.version);
	printf("Machine:          %s\n", name.machine);
