and this tool distinguish three different hostnames: the high-level "pretty" hostname which might include
|
|
all kinds of special characters (e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the "static" hostname which is the
|
|
user-configured hostname (e.g. "lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname which is a fallback value
|
|
received from network configuration (e.g. "node12345678"). If a static hostname is set to a valid value,
|
|
then the transient hostname is not used.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the characters and length used, while the static and
|
|
transient hostnames are limited to the usually accepted characters of Internet domain names, and 64 characters at
|
|
maximum (the latter being a Linux limitation).</para>

|

|
|
<listitem><para>If no argument is given, print the system hostname. If an
|
|
optional argument <replaceable>NAME</replaceable> is provided then the command changes the
|
|
system hostname to <replaceable>NAME</replaceable>. By default, this will alter the
|
|
pretty, the static, and the transient hostname alike; however, if one or more of <option>--static</option>,
|
|
<option>--transient</option>, <option>--pretty</option> are used, only the selected hostnames are changed. If
|
|
the pretty hostname is being set, and static or transient are being set as well, the specified hostname will be
|
|
simplified in regards to the character set used before the latter are updated. This is done by removing special
|
|
characters and spaces. This ensures that the pretty and the static hostname are always closely related while
|
|
still following the validity rules of the specific name. This simplification of the hostname string is not done
|
|
if only the transient and/or static hostnames are set, and the pretty hostname is left untouched.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The static and transient hostnames must each be either a single DNS label (a string composed of
|
|
7-bit ASCII lower-case characters and no spaces or dots, limited to the format allowed for DNS domain
|
|
name labels), or a sequence of such labels separated by single dots that forms a valid DNS FQDN. The
|
|
hostname must be at most 64 characters, which is a Linux limitation (DNS allows longer names).</para></listitem>
