Sys::Hostname(3)

Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.5. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

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 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.
