On a Sun Blade 2000,
$ /usr/bin/uname -i
SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
(a Sun Blade 2000 is nearly indistinguishable from a 1000)
The dtksh builtin gives the hostid (in hex) instead; the ksh93 builtin (if
enabled
by prefixing PATH with /usr/ast/bin) gives "unknown", and its help says
$ uname --help
[...]
-i, --implementation|platform|hardware-platform
The hardware implementation; this is --host-id on some
systems.
[...]
For the heck of it, /usr/gnu/bin/uname -i and /opt/sfw/bin/uname -i
(both the GNU version) give SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000.
The difference between /usr/bin/uname and dtksh has been like that for a
very long time; ok (well not, but it's not a new problem). But:
* which is right?
* which should ksh93 be giving instead of "unknown"? (I think the need to
answer
that drives the need to answer the former a little further)
SUSv3 is no help; it doesn't define -i for uname although it seems to permit
options
over and above those it does define. See
