Yep. See the manpage of gethostname(). This should work fine: 1 #include <stdio.h> 2 #include <stdlib.h> 3 #include <unistd.h> 4 5 #define HOST_NAME_MAX 255 6 static char buf[HOST_NAME_MAX + 1]; 7 8 int 9 main(void) 10 { 11 12 if (gethostname(buf, HOST_NAME_MAX) == -1) { 13 fprintf(stderr, 14 "error: my hostname is not defined\n"); 15 exit(EXIT_FAILURE); 16 } 17 printf("%s\n", buf); 18 return EXIT_SUCCESS; 19 } Giorgos _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
