RE: Bug in uname
Thanks for maintaining a less-than-glorious, but useful utility. I did check to make sure I was getting the expected version of uname: which uname /bin/uname , but attempting to repeat the symptom got proper behavior!??: uname -a Linux cloudy 2.6.25-14.fc9.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu May 1 06:06:21 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux A look at my history shows the command I originally used: uname -a uname: extra operand `-a' Try `uname --help' for more information. "Oh goody, identical commands, different behavior..." cat | od -c uname -a 000 u n a m e 342 200 223 a \n \n 014 It appears that the web page I cut-n-pasted from was rendered using a UTF8 character (0xE28093) that just happens to look like a hyphen on my terminal. Nevermind :-) Sorry about the .sig; it's the burden that comes of working for a financial company. Further sorry about the false alarm.

Are you sure you don't have any aliases or shell functions interfering? Depending on your shell, 'which uname' or 'type uname' will tell you. ... ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
