It prints the name and version of the operating system or the command shell. It is roughly equivalent to the Unix command uname.Some versions of MS-DOS support an undocumented /r switch, which will show the revision as well as the version.The command is also available in the open source MS-DOS emulator DOSBox.Microsoft Windows also includes a GUI variant of the command called winver.
