Hi,
When I type the command:
> uname --version

it says "illegal option -- version". Notice in the error message there is a space between "--" and "version" but in actual command its not. The error message is different if I deliberately put a space between the two and execute it.
I am using SunOS, kernel version Generic_144488-05

Thanks

Karan
