Print the kernel name.
@acronym{POSIX} 1003.1-2001 (@pxref{Standards conformance}) calls this
``the implementation of the operating system'', because the
@acronym{POSIX} specification itself has no notion of ``kernel''.
The kernel name might be the same as the operating system name printed
by the @option{-o} or @option{--operating-system} option, but it might
differ. Some operating systems (e.g., FreeBSD, HP-UX) have the same
name as their underlying kernels; others (e.g., GNU/Linux, Solaris)
do not.
