Set or print the name of the current host system
Syntax:
hostname [-s] [name_of_host]
Options:
-
-s
- Trim off any domain information from the printed
name.
-
name_of_host
- The name to be given to the current host system.
Description:
When the system starts, it
initializes the hostname. As superuser, you can use the
hostname utility to change the hostname.
Without a name_of_host argument,
hostname prints the name of the current host.
Note:
This utility sets or gets the value of the _CS_HOSTNAME
configuration string, not that of the HOSTNAME environment
variable.
