++The function 
++.BR gethostname(2)
++is used to get the hostname.  When the 
++.BR "hostname \-a, \-d, \-f or \-i" 
++is called will 
++.BR gethostbyname(3)
++be called.  The difference in 
++.BR gethostname(2)
++and
++.BR gethostbyname(3)
++is that
++.BR gethostbyname(3)
++is network aware, so it consults 
++.IR /etc/nsswitch.conf
++and
++.IR /etc/host.conf
++to decide whether to read information in
++.IR /etc/sysconfig/network
++or
++.IR /etc/hosts
++
++To add another dimension to this,
++the 
++.B hostname 
++is also set when the network interface is brought up.
