+>GETHOSTNAME(3)          System Library Functions Manual         GETHOSTNAME(3)
+
+NAME
+     gethostname, sethostname - get/set name of current host
+
+SYNOPSIS
+     #include &lt;unistd.h&#62;
+
+     int
+     gethostname(char *name, size_t namelen);
+
+     int
+     sethostname(const char *name, size_t namelen);
+
+DESCRIPTION
+     The gethostname() function returns the standard host name for the current
+     processor, as previously set by sethostname().  The parameter namelen
+     specifies the size of the name array.  If insufficient space is provided,
+     the returned name is truncated.  The returned name is always null termi-
+     nated.
+
+     sethostname() sets the name of the host machine to be name, which has
+     length namelen.  This call is restricted to the superuser and is normally
+     used only when the system is bootstrapped.
+
+RETURN VALUES
+     If the call succeeds a value of 0 is returned.  If the call fails, a
+     value of -1 is returned and an error code is placed in the global vari-
+     able errno.
+
+ERRORS
+     The following errors may be returned by these calls:
+
+     [EFAULT]           The name or namelen parameter gave an invalid address.
+
+     [EPERM]            The caller tried to set the hostname and was not the
+                        superuser.
+
+SEE ALSO
+     hostname(1), getdomainname(3), gethostid(3), sysctl(3), sysctl(8), yp(8)
+
+STANDARDS
+     The gethostname() function call conforms to X/Open Portability Guide
+     Issue 4.2 (``XPG4.2'').
+
+HISTORY
+     The gethostname() function call appeared in 4.2BSD.
+
+BUGS
+     Host names are limited to MAXHOSTNAMELEN (from &lt;sys/param.h&#62;) characters,
+     currently 256.  This includes the terminating NUL character.
+
+     If the buffer passed to gethostname() is smaller than MAXHOSTNAMELEN,
+     other operating systems may not guarantee termination with NUL.
