hostname(1C)                    TCP/IP R4.11                    hostname(1C)


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.  A user with appropriate privilege (See NOTES, below)
       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

SEE ALSO
       uname(1), gethostname(2), sethostname(2), uname(2),
       appropriateprivilege(5).

NOTES
       On a generic DG/UX system, appropriate privilege is granted by having
       an effective UID of 0 (root).  See the appropriateprivilege(5) man
       page for more information.

       On a system with DG/UX information security, appropriate privilege is
       granted by having one or more specific capabilities enabled in the
       effective capability set of the user.  See the capdefaults(5) man
       page for the default capabilities for this command.
