| Description |

Quoting myself from The results of system.uname are different between the old and the new implementation: Old: Linux example.com 2.6.32-431.1.2.el6.ppc64 #1 SMP Sun Nov 24 09:36:46 EST 2013 ppc64 ppc64 ppc64 GNU/Linux That's equivalent to -i, -p and -o missing from the uname utility, it seems to me. This should be documented or changed. |

According to sasha, this change was intended. The last three values do not seem to be present in the structure that uname() call returns:
struct utsname {
char sysname[]; /* Operating system name (e.g., "Linux") */
char nodename[]; /* Name within "some implementation-defined
network" */
char release[]; /* Operating system release (e.g., "2.6.28") */
char version[]; /* Operating system version */
char machine[]; /* Hardware identifier */
#ifdef _GNU_SOURCE
char domainname[]; /* NIS or YP domain name */
#endif
};
On other operating systems the last three values are not printed either. So, again, since |
