hostname — stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version
hostname [options
] [name
]
The hostname
command prints
the name of your computer. Depending on how you have things set up,
this might be the fully qualified hostname:
$ hostname myhost.example.com
or your short hostname:
$ hostname myhost
You can also set your hostname, as root:[19]
# hostname orange
However, hostnames and nameservers are complicated topics well beyond the scope of this book. Don’t just blindly start setting hostnames!
