systemd-hostnamed.service, systemd-hostnamed - Daemon to control system
hostname from programs
SYNOPSIS
systemd-hostnamed.service
/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed
DESCRIPTION
systemd-hostnamed.service is a system service that may be used to
change the system's hostname and related machine metadata from user
programs. It is automatically activated on request and terminates
itself when unused.
It currently offers access to five variables:
o The current hostname (Example: "dhcp-192-168-47-11")
o The static (configured) hostname (Example: "lennarts-computer")
o The pretty hostname (Example: "Lennart's Computer")
o A suitable icon name for the local host (Example:
"computer-laptop")
o A chassis type (Example: "tablet")
The static hostname is stored in /etc/hostname, see hostname(5) for
more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon name are
stored in /etc/machine-info, see machine-info(5).
The tool hostnamectl(1) is a command line client to this service.
See org.freedesktop.hostname1(5) and org.freedesktop.LogControl1(5) for
a description of the D-Bus API.
