Hi, Randomly I was looking throught the uname documentation and discovered the -p and -i switches. On both hurd-i386 and i386 these values are unknown. However, on sparc this values are defined. Unfortunatly, I think these values are backwards.
uname -p is supposed to return the processor of the machine. uname -i is supposed to return the hardware platform. So, I would expect uname -i to return sun4u on my ultra 5, and uname -p to return a variation on UltraSparc. This is the actual output: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ uname -p sun4u [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ $ uname -i TI UltraSparc IIi Now for the actual question: is this a kernel bug or a bug in coreutils, or even a bug in my setup?
