Very Computer

Hi,

I want to Programatically (c,c++) retrieve the Platform name on a
Sparc 7 machine.

uname -a returns:
SunOS mymachine 5.7 Generic_106541-18 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

I want the "SUNW,Ultra-5_10" bit.

Unfortunatly the

struct utsname {
        char    sysname[_SYS_NMLN];
        char    nodename[_SYS_NMLN];
        char    release[_SYS_NMLN];
        char    version[_SYS_NMLN];
        char    machine[_SYS_NMLN];

Quote:};

in utsname.h

does not give the platform name is there some other api\structure that
can give it to me.

Thanks,
Enda

Sounds like you need sysinfo(2)

#include <sys/systeminfo.h>
#define BUFLEN 20
main()
{

        char buf[BUFLEN];
        sysinfo(SI_PLATFORM,buf,BUFLEN);
        printf("%s\n",buf);

You want sysinfo().  See Chapter 8 of my book for more details.

Hi Enda!

Here is the hack program that shows how to get it cheaply.
Instead of comments it has printf()s to show what is going
on. xp[0] is the value that you need.

Good luck,

 for (i=0; i<ac; i++)
  printf("av[%i]='%s' %p-%p\n",i,av[i],av[i],av[i]+strlen(av[i]));
 for (i=0; ep[i]; i++)
  printf("ep[%i]='%s' %p-%p\n",i,ep[i],ep[i],ep[i]+strlen(ep[i]));
 xp = ep[i-1] + strlen(ep[i-1]) + 1;
 for (i = 0; *xp; i++)
  printf("xp[%i]='%s' %p-%p\n",i,xp,xp,xp+strlen(xp)),
  xp += strlen(xp) + 1;
 return 0;
