NAME
       admtcpipparams - manage the TCP/IP host parameters

SYNOPSIS
       admtcpipparams -o set [ -n hostname ] [ -i hostid ]

       admtcpipparams -o get [ -qv ]

DESCRIPTION
       Admtcpipparams manages the TCP/IP host parameters in the
       tcpip.params(4M) database.  The parameters include hostname(1C) and
       hostid(1C).

   Operations
       set       Set the hostname and/or the hostid.  The hostname and
                 hostid are set currently and will be set when the network
                 is started.

       get       Get the hostname and the hostid.

   Options
       -n hostname
                 hostname is the name that uniquely identifies a host.
                 Every host has a hostname for each network interface which
                 associates an Internet address with that interface.  But
                 the hostname uniquely identifies a host system.  By
                 convention, the hostname is also the hostname for the
                 primary network interface.

       -i hostid hostid is a number that uniquely identifies a host. By
                 convention, this number is the internet address of the
                 host's primary network interface.  The number may be
                 entered in either internet address or hexadecimal format:
                 for example, as internet address 128.222.8.61 or the
                 corresponding hexadecimal number 0x80de083d.

       -q        "Quiet."  Produce an unformatted listing (i.e. no headers,
                 fields delimited by a single space).

       -v        "Verbose."  Produce a formatted listing with headers and
                 aligned columns.  This option is enabled by default.

FILES
       /etc/tcpip.params
                 TCP/IP parameters file which stores the TCP/IP host
                 parameters.

OUTPUT
       The get operation writes its output to stdout.

       The verbose form of the get operation outputs information in aligned
       columns with column headers.

       The quiet form of the operation suppresses headers and the hostname

       and hostid are printed out with one space delimiter.

DIAGNOSTICS
   Errors
        -  The hostid is not in hexadecimal or internet address format.

   Exit Codes
        0     The operation was successful.

        1     The operation was unsuccessful.

        2     The operation failed due to access restrictions.

SEE ALSO
       hostname(1C), hostid(1C), tcpip.params(4M).

NOTES
       Only the system administrator has access to the set operation.
       Access to the get operation is granted based upon read access to the
       tcpip.params file.  Generally, all have read access to the
       tcpip.params file.
