UNIX Timesharing System
UTS namespace
Instead of a single system_utsname
containing hostname domainname etc, a process can request it's
copy of the uts info to be cloned. The data will be copied from
it's original, but any further changes will not be seen by processes
which are not it's children, and vice versa.
This is useful, for instance, for vserver/openvz, which can now clone a new uts namespace for each new virtual server
