#include <unistd.h>
int gethostname(char *name, size_t len);
int sethostname(const char *name, size_t len);
描述
These system calls are used to access or to change the host name of the current processor. The gethostname() system call returns a null-terminated hostname (set earlier by sethostname()) in the array name that has a length of len bytes. In case the null-terminated hostname does not fit, no error is returned, but the hostname is truncated. It is unspecified whether the truncated hostname will be null-terminated.
返回值
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

描述 |
|
EFAULT |
name is an invalid address. |
|
EINVAL |
len is negative or, for sethostname(), len is larger than the maximum allowed size, or, for gethostname() on Linux/i386, lenis smaller than the actual size. (In this last case glibc 2.1 uses ENAMETOOLONG.) |
|
EPERM |
For sethostname(), the caller did not have theCAP_SYS_ADMIN capability. |
遵循於
SVr4, 4.4BSD (this interfaces first appeared in 4.2BSD). POSIX.1-2001 specifiesgethostname() but not sethostname().
注意
SUSv2 guarantees that ‘Host names are limited to 255 bytes’. POSIX.1-2001 guarantees that ‘Host names (not including the terminating null byte) are limited to HOST_NAME_MAX bytes’.
glibc注意事項
The GNU C library 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 toENAMETOOLONG. Versions of glibc before 2.2 handle the case where the length of thenodename was greater than or equal to len differently: nothing is copied into name and the function returns -1 with errno set to ENAMETOOLONG.
