The
hostname
utility prints the name of the
current host. The super-user can set the hostname by supplying an argument;
this is usually done in the initialization script
/etc/rc.d/hostname, normally run at boot
time. This script uses the
hostname variable
in
/etc/rc.conf.
Options:
-f
- Include domain information in the printed name. This is the default
behavior.
-s
- Trim off any domain information from the printed name.
-d
- Only print domain information.
