On System 3 and System V systems, the utsname structure is returned by
the uname() system call (man 2 uname), which tells you the name of your
system.  If you don't have the file, you're probably on a Berkeley
system which uses a dfferent means of identifying the system.  The
program probably wanted the field "char nodename[9]", which is the name
your system is know by on the uucp network, more or less.  4.1BSD used
a file like /etc/whoami or something like that.
