   sethostname    ( 2 )

получить / установить имя хоста (get/set hostname)

Имя (Name)

gethostname, sethostname - get/set hostname

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#include <unistd.h>

int gethostname(char *name, size_t len); int sethostname(const char *name, size_t len);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

gethostname(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L || /* Glibc 2.19 and earlier */ _BSD_SOURCE

sethostname(): Since glibc 2.21: _DEFAULT_SOURCE In glibc 2.19 and 2.20: _DEFAULT_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500) Up to and including glibc 2.19: _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)


Описание (Description)

These system calls are used to access or to change the system
       hostname.  More precisely, they operate on the hostname
       associated with the calling process's UTS namespace.

sethostname() sets the hostname to the value given in the character array name. The len argument specifies the number of bytes in name. (Thus, name does not require a terminating null byte.)

gethostname() returns the null-terminated hostname in the character array name, which has a length of len bytes. If the null-terminated hostname is too large to fit, then the name is truncated, and no error is returned (but see NOTES below). POSIX.1 says that if such truncation occurs, then it is unspecified whether the returned buffer includes a terminating null byte.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and
       errno is set to indicate the error.

Ошибки (Error)

EFAULT name is an invalid address.

EINVAL len is negative or, for sethostname(), len is larger than the maximum allowed size.

ENAMETOOLONG (glibc gethostname()) len is smaller than the actual size. (Before version 2.1, glibc uses EINVAL for this case.)

EPERM For sethostname(), the caller did not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the user namespace associated with its UTS namespace (see namespaces(7)).


Стандарты (Conforming to)

SVr4, 4.4BSD  (these interfaces first appeared in 4.2BSD).
       POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008 specify gethostname() but not
       sethostname().

Примечание (Note)

SUSv2 guarantees that "Host names are limited to 255 bytes".
       POSIX.1 guarantees that "Host names (not including the
       terminating null byte) are limited to HOST_NAME_MAX bytes".  On
       Linux, HOST_NAME_MAX is defined with the value 64, which has been
       the limit since Linux 1.0 (earlier kernels imposed a limit of 8
       bytes).

C library/kernel differences The GNU C library does not employ the gethostname() system call; instead, it implements gethostname() as a library function that calls uname(2) and copies up to len bytes from the returned nodename field into name. Having performed the copy, the function then checks if the length of the nodename was greater than or equal to len, and if it is, then the function returns -1 with errno set to ENAMETOOLONG; in this case, a terminating null byte is not included in the returned name.

Versions of glibc before 2.2 handle the case where the length of the nodename was greater than or equal to len differently: nothing is copied into name and the function returns -1 with errno set to ENAMETOOLONG.
