NAME
     lmhostid - report the hostid of a system

SYNOPSIS
     lmhostid [ -type ] [ -n ]


DESCRIPTION
     lmhostid calls the FLEXlm version of gethostid and displays the results.

     The output of lmhostid looks like this:

     The FLEXlm host ID of this machine is "1200abcd"

OPTIONS
     -n        Prints the hostid without explanatory header.

     -type     This depends on the platform.  On most platforms, there's only
               one hostid type, so there's no applicable -type. On hp700,
               there's 2 types of hostids; FLEXlm defaults to the uname -i
               hostid, but the /etc/lanscan ethernet hostid is available via
               -ether. SCO has 2 hostids available.  The current default is
               uname -x as a string.  For historical reasons, a version of
               this hostid as hex number is available with -long argument,
               which should only be used with older FLEXlm-based applications.

     -ether    (only on HP machines) specifies that the ethernet hostid should
               be used rather than the uname -i hostid.

     -long     (On SCO machines) On SCO, this specifies that the serial number
               should have leading characters stripped, and converted to a
               32-bit long int.

     Here's how to determine the hostid on many support systems.
