Sys::Hostname(3) Perl Programmers Reference GuideSys::Hostname(3)NAMESys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname
SYNOPSIS
use Sys::Hostname;
$host = hostname;
DESCRIPTION
Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname
and then caches the result. It tries
syscall(SYS_gethostname), `hostname`, `uname -n`, and the
file /com/host. If all that fails it croaks.
All nulls, returns, and newlines are removed from the
result.
