HOSTNAME(1)

📦 version 0.12.0, in arch rolling

HOSTNAME(1) from the General Commands Manual just slid into the group chat, and bestie we are learning how to display or set the system's host name. no cap, it's giving tiny-but-mighty utility energy 💅✨

💖 NAME 💖

hostname — display or set the system's host name. literally what it says on the tin, bestie 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

hostname [OPTION]... [HOSTNAME]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so hostname does the main-character thing: it can display the system's host name, or it can set the system's host name. that's the vibe. periodt ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d, --domain — displays the name of the DNS domain if possible 🦋
  • -i, --ip-address — displays the network address(es) of the host 🌈
  • -f, --fqdn — displays the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). this one is the default, bestie, so it's kind of the main character of the flags 👑
  • -s, --short — displays the short hostname (the portion before the first dot) if possible ✨
  • -h, --help — prints help 🫶
  • -V, --version — prints version 🎀
  • [host] — the host argument slot appears here at the end of the options list. yes, it's just vibing there with no extra description in the source 💀
