getdomainname

NAME

getdomainname, setdomainname - get/set domain name

SYNOPSIS

#include <unistd.h> I int getdomainname(char * name , size_t len );
I int setdomainname(const char * name , size_t len );

DESCRIPTION

These functions are used to access or to change the domain name of the current processor. If the null-terminated domain name requires more than len bytes, R getdomainname () returns the first len bytes (glibc) or returns an error (libc).

RETURN VALUE

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

EFAULT
For R setdomainname (): name pointed outside of user address space.
EINVAL
For R getdomainname () under libc: name is NULL or name is longer than len bytes.
EINVAL
For R setdomainname (): len was negative or too large.
EPERM
For R setdomainname (): the caller is unprivileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

CONFORMING TO

POSIX does not specify these calls.
