The options have been documented as non-portable since 2015: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.24-7-g6d67649 Please use `uname -m` to print hardware class. See bug #2121153. *** Bug 2162873 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2188689 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2189656 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2203350 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2208048 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 2248503 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** my god - that worked is breaking scripts dating back way longer randomly - god knows what "non portable" means and why this nonsense just could output the same as the past 15 years instead of unknown without breaking things left and right Non-portable means that there is no guarantee that uname will accept these options or that the output will be useful. For example no script that uses uname -i can be used on macOS because it's version does not accept the -i option. But that also applies to Linux, different Linux distributions may produce different outputs on the same hardware. In other words, uname -i/-p are purely informative and *should not* be used in scripts for platform detection as opposed to uname -m because its behaviour is described by POSIX. Harald, the problem is that `uname -i` printed the string only on Fedora. On my Gentoo Linux box, `uname -i` prints `GenuineIntel`. so this options are comletly useless - anyways, until today it worked over 15 years on any Fedora version and it's a pain and what makes it terrible is that THEY FOR SURE worked a few months ago as i upgraded my testing environment from F37 to F38 and now when upgrade the production infrastrcuture stuff left adn right is suddenly broken *** Bug 2261852 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** ------- Comment From Anushree.Mathur2 2024-01-30 03:21 EDT------- With uname -m i am getting the output: root# uname -m ppc64le |
