I am using the real time kernel embedded. In the kernel documentation it is not listed that it is either linux based or on any other. How do i know that a particular kernel i am using is linux based kernel or not? I want know what characteristics/features of a kernel, we compare, to know on which it is based.

Use the
unamecommand (or theunamesystem call) to find out the name and version of the operating system (kernel) you’re using.In the former case,
uname -swill reportLinuxfor a Linux kernel; in the latter case, inspect thesysnamemember of yourstruct utsname.
