Unique machine serial number available in 'C' on HP/UX

One more crazy thing I need to finish this port. I need to be able to get the unique machine serial number (I use it for encoding purposes) from HP UX. Is there a simple function to get this? Thanks.

Use the "uname" routine in C.

From OS level ..
# uname -i

eric,

of course the serial number can be moved from one machine to the next, but no two machines are supposed to have the same serial #.
