kolmogorov smirnov test. Normal distribution

Hello!

I am really confused with kolmogorov_smirnov_test now.

I have prepared the X vector of normally distributed values using
proprietary statistical software.

And I have tried to check the distribution for normality with the help of
kolmogorov_smirnov_test function.  Let me show my octave session:


X=[7.11, 6.73, 6.95, 7.25, 7.25, 7.03, 7.10, 7.15, 6.78, 7.09, 7.37, 7.22,
6.82, 6.72, 6.95]; 

kolmogorov_smirnov_test(X, "normal");
pval: 1.87184e-13

kolmogorov_smirnov_test(X, "uniform");
pval: 1.87184e-13

So, the pval values are identical for uniform and normal distributions. 
What does it mean?

Am I using this function in correct manner?

Thank you beforehand.
