I guess it is misguided optimization but I have to stick with it. We have a
file with a variable:
static struct utsname name = {"", "", "", "", "", ""};
And then functions like this one:
char const * utsys_version(void) {
if (!*(name.version)) uname(&name);
return name.version;
}
I guess this approach is taken because the original author worried about
performance and for example utsys_nodename is called very often.
On the other hand I wonder why there is the need to rename domainname to
__domainname at all?
