NAME
       hostname - set or print name of current host system

SYNOPSIS
       hostname [ nameofhost ]

DESCRIPTION
       The hostname command (without an argument) prints the name of the
       current host.  The superuser can set the nameofhost by specifying an
       argument.  When the nameofhost is specified the command also sets the
       nodename for the system.  The nodename can also be displayed with the
       uname command and is typically used with communication protocols
       other than TCP/IP, such as, uucp.  The parameter used at boot time is
       defined in

           /etc/tcpip.params

and is used in

    /usr/sbin/init.d/rc.tcpipport
