Changed uname() function
In HP-UX 11i Version 1.5 (B.11.20), the value of the idnumber field in the
utsname structure is not guaranteed to be unique. This field will be
obsoleted in a future release. Use the confstr (3C) interfaces instead.
For more information, see “Changes to Machine Identification” on page
39, “Changes to confstr()” on page 100, and the uname (2) manual page.
