DESCRIPTION
     The gethostname function returns the standard host name for the

     except when namelen is not long enough to contain the host name, in
     which case the returned name is truncated and it is unspecified
     whether the returned name is null-terminated.

     Host names are limited to 255 bytes.

RETURN VALUE
     On successful completion, 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned.
