Hi, I am using opensuse 11.1 with the most recent updates. The problem can also be found on the page http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/uname.2.html The page states that the member domainname of struct utsname is only available if _GNU_SOURCE is defined. However in /usr/include/sys/utsname.h I can only find: #if _UTSNAME_DOMAIN_LENGTH - 0 /* Name of the domain of this node on the network. */ # ifdef __USE_GNU char domainname[_UTSNAME_DOMAIN_LENGTH]; # else char __domainname[_UTSNAME_DOMAIN_LENGTH]; # endif and in /usr/include/bits/utsname.h: /* Length of the entries in `struct utsname' is 65. */ #define _UTSNAME_LENGTH 65 /* Linux provides as additional information in the `struct utsname' the name of the current domain. Define _UTSNAME_DOMAIN_LENGTH to a value != 0 to activate this entry. */ #define _UTSNAME_DOMAIN_LENGTH _UTSNAME_LENGTH This means that for linux the struct utname has always six members and the last one is either named domainname or __domainname. The manpage should state this to make clear that a struct utsname has to be initialized like this: struct utsname name = {"", "", "", "", "", ""}; Thanks, Christoph -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
