For example, now I want to write a bash script in which I check the name of the running hosting system. The first command I would think of is uname -s
. But I want to target some platform that is not available on my machine right now (like Cygwin, MinGW,...) and I want to make sure that I wrote the right name in the if
condition. So the question is that how I can list all possible values of uname -s
command (to avoid the headache for the wrong condition and who knows what's next...), and even for some commands which have the same characteristics?
How to get all possible value of a certain linux command?

Actually, after posting the question, I found out that there is a wiki page about the command
uname
which gives pretty much the information I need :D Never know that Wiki can be useful like that in this case
