HOSTID(1N)              COMMAND REFERENCE              HOSTID(1N)



NAME
     hostid - set or print identifier of current host system

SYNOPSIS
     hostid [ Internet Address ]

DESCRIPTION
     The hostid command prints the identifier of the current host
     as an internet address.

     The command netconfig(8n) ensures that hostid is set
     correctly whenever the workstation is rebooted.  The hostid
     is saved in the network.conf(5n) file.

     Only the superuser can set the hostid.  The input format is
     the standard internet address format, see netconfig(8n). The
     hostid can be set to the internet address of any of the
     interfaces (typically there is only one interface, so there
     is no choice).

     The value set by hostid is also returned as part of the stat
     structure (see stat(2)) to aid in determining the location
     of a file.

FILES
     /etc/network.conf        File that remembers network
                              configuration upon rebooting.

RETURN VALUE
     [NO_ERRS]      Command completed without error.

     [1]            You incorrectly specified an internet
                    address.

     [P_ERR]        A system error occurred. Execution
                    terminated.  See intro(2) for more
                    information on system errors.
