⚒️How it works

How does it work?

When GetUname gets called, it first checks to see if uname exists in the following paths:

• /bin/uname

• /usr/bin/uname

• /system/xbin/uname (Android)

If it exists, it translates the passed flags to their respective arguments for the above uname program:

• Kernel name (UnameTypes.KernelName)

  • -s

• Kernel release (UnameTypes.KernelRelease)

  • -r

• Kernel version (UnameTypes.KernelVersion)

  • -v

• Network host name (UnameTypes.NetworkNode)

  • -n

• Machine architecture (UnameTypes.Machine)

  • -m

• Operating system (UnameTypes.OperatingSystem)

  • -o

The library then proceeds to call the application with the specified arguments. As soon as uname finishes outputting the specified system info type, it returns the output as a string.

For more information about the uname command, refer to the manual page.
