Описание (Description)
gethostid() and sethostid() respectively get or set a unique
32-bit identifier for the current machine. The 32-bit identifier
was intended to be unique among all UNIX systems in existence.
This normally resembles the Internet address for the local
machine, as returned by gethostbyname(3), and thus usually never
needs to be set.
The sethostid() call is restricted to the superuser.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
gethostid() returns the 32-bit identifier for the current host as
set by sethostid().
On success, sethostid() returns 0; on error, -1 is returned, and
errno is set to indicate the error.
Ошибки (Error)
sethostid() can fail with the following errors:
EACCES The caller did not have permission to write to the file
used to store the host ID.
EPERM The calling process's effective user or group ID is not
the same as its corresponding real ID.

Стандарты (Conforming to)
4.2BSD; these functions were dropped in 4.4BSD. SVr4 includes
gethostid() but not sethostid().
POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 specify gethostid() but not
sethostid().
Примечание (Note)
In the glibc implementation, the hostid is stored in the file
/etc/hostid. (In glibc versions before 2.2, the file
/var/adm/hostid was used.)
In the glibc implementation, if gethostid() cannot open the file
containing the host ID, then it obtains the hostname using
gethostname(2), passes that hostname to gethostbyname_r(3) in
order to obtain the host's IPv4 address, and returns a value
obtained by bit-twiddling the IPv4 address. (This value may not
be unique.)
Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)
It is impossible to ensure that the identifier is globally
unique.
