Type the complete command, including the single option, that prints every field uname reports at once — kernel name, network node name, kernel release, kernel version, machine and operating system — on one line.
LPIC-1 Exam 101-500, objective 103. GNU and Unix commands easy
Machine-checked — no person has signed for it. This question was read against the source cited below by an automated pass, which found no contradiction. That is a weaker claim than it sounds: the same kind of process wrote the question, so it can confirm its own mistake.
Treat it as a good draft rather than as settled fact, and read the source below before you rely on it. It is not used in mock exams here — only questions a person has signed for are.

Answer
Type the answer.
Accepted answers
uname -auname --all
Case sensitive — Linux is, and grading LS as ls would teach a falsehood.
Why
-a (--all) prints all the information uname has, in a fixed order: kernel name, network node name, kernel release, kernel version, machine, and operating system, plus the processor and hardware platform fields when they are known. The individual options select one field each — -s kernel name, -n node name, -r release, -v version, -m machine, -o operating system — and with no option at all uname prints the kernel name only.
