NAME¶
Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname
SYNOPSIS¶
use Sys::Hostname;
$host = hostname;
DESCRIPTION¶
Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname and then caches the
result. It tries the first available of the C library's
gethostname(),
"`$Config{aphostname}`",
uname(2),
"syscall(SYS_gethostname)", "`hostname`", "`uname
-n`", and the file
/com/host. If all that fails it
"croak"s.
All NULs, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
