Need sample IRIX uname results

RE: Need sample IRIX uname results
You want uname -saR for the stock one or you can mandate people use my neweoe version which is properly POSIX compliant (the stock command is NOT)

The stock IRIX command is broken because -r and -R are reversed from literally every other OS published.

Details here. I do not recommend working around the stock uname because when IRIXCE is stable there's going to be no reason to use a historical form of IRIX 6.5.x because:

1. Security holes will be patched
2. Many libraries will be upgraded/patched
3. It will form a more correct development environment.

Do we really want to go through and patch every script out there using uname -r? I think not.

Technical problems should be sent my way.
