values of uname() fields for iPhone.

Hi,

Where can I find the possible values of the uname() structure for iPhone? I need to determine if my app is running on 3G/3GS/4G - along with the O/S versions.

Thx and regards, Sam.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.5)

Hi Sam -

I think you're asking about the fields in +struct utsname+ (#include <sys/utsname.h>) which is loaded by the uname() BSD library function. For the machine info, see the reply by Will Harris in this SO thread: [Detect the specific iPhone/iPod touch model|http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1108859/detect-the-specific-iphone-ipo d-touch-model]. That thread predates 4G, and since I don't have a 4G myself, I can't give you the exact string in that case.

As to the O/S info, you'll find utsname.h in /usr/include/sys. I don't know where to find a list of all possible values, but all the fields are C strings, so it shouldn't be difficult to interpret them. If you go to the trouble of compiling a more or less complete list, please post it for us, ok?

\- Ray
