<p>The <em>gethostname()</em> function is used to retrieve the name of the host
|
||
|
|
from the system.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p> There are two versions of
|
||
|
|
the API, as shown above. The base i5/OS API uses BSD 4.3 structures and
|
||
|
|
syntax. The other uses syntax and structures compatible with the UNIX 98
|
||
|
|
programming interface specifications. You can select the UNIX 98 compatible
|
||
|
|
interface with the <a href="_xopen_source.htm">_XOPEN_SOURCE</a> macro.</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||

<h3>Parameters</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><strong>name</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>(Output) The pointer to a character array where the host name is to be
|
||
|
|
stored. The host name is NULL-terminated unless the length of the host name
|
||
|
|
exceeds the length of the <em>name</em> parameter, in which case the host name
|
||
|
|
is truncated to the size of the <em>name</em> parameter.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dt><strong>length</strong></dt>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dd>(Input) The length of the <em>name</em> parameter.</dd>
|

|
|
</dl>

<h3>Authorities</h3>
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Return Value</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p><em>gethostname()</em> returns an integer. Possible values are:</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>-1 (unsuccessful)<br>
|

<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When <em>gethostname()</em> fails, <em>errno</em> can be set to one of the
|
||
|
|
following:</p>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li>Maximum length of host names is defined by {MAXHOSTNAMELEN} (defined in
|
||
|
|
<strong><sys/param.h></strong>).<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>When a process issues a <em>sethostname()</em>, the host name can be
|
||
|
|
accessed by any process that issues a <em>gethostname()</em>.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>On an initial program load, the host name is set to whatever was configured
|
||
|
|
using the iSeries Navigator or
|
||
|
|
option 12 (Change TCP/IP
|
||
|
|
domain information) on the Configure TCP/IP (CFGTCP) menu. The local domain
|
||
|
|
name is appended with the local host name and stored in system-wide storage.
|
||
|
|
This combined name is the host name that can be retrieved by
|
||
|
|
<em>gethostname()</em>. If the local host name and local domain name are not
|
||
|
|
set, the host name is set to NULL.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>The host name is returned in the default coded character set identifier
|
||
|
|
(CCSID) currently in effect for the job.<br>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li>When you develop in C-based
|
||
|
|
languages and an application is compiled with the _XOPEN_SOURCE macro defined
|
||
|
|
to the value 520 or greater, the <em>gethostname()</em> API is mapped to
|
||
|
|
<em>qso_gethostname98()</em>.</li>

||
