NAME

6       Sys::Hostname - Try every conceivable way to get hostname
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Sys::Hostname;
10           my $host = hostname;
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Attempts several methods of getting the system hostname and then caches
14       the result.  It tries the first available of the C library's
15       gethostname(), `$Config{aphostname}`, uname(2),
16       syscall(SYS_gethostname), `hostname`, `uname -n`, and the file
17       /com/host.  If all that fails it "croak"s.
18
19       All NULs, returns, and newlines are removed from the result.
