Since the switch to git I've been wondering how /usr/bin/uname works. The man page is thin on details and uname.c is far too subtle.
For example, on my test box uname -a reports FreeBSD www.zefox.org 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #7 main-c255937-g818390ce0ca5: Wed Jan 13 16:42:12 PST 2021 b...@www.zefox.org:/usr/obj/usr/freebsd-src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC-MMCCAM arm64 which seems to replay git nomeclature. However, uname -KU reports 1300135 1300134 which is admirably readable, even for me. Is there a natural language description detailing how uname -KU outputs are computed, and roughly what they mean? I've noticed that different sources sometimes produce the same values, so the level of detail is less, but might suffice for initial reports to the mailing lists.
