coreutils: hostname invocation

 
 21.5 ‘hostname’: Print or set system name
 =========================================
 
 With no arguments, ‘hostname’ prints the name of the current host
 system.  With one argument, it sets the current host name to the
 specified string.  You must have appropriate privileges to set the host
 name.  Synopsis:
 
      hostname [NAME]
 
    The only options are ‘--help’ and ‘--version’.  ⇒Common
 options.
 
    ‘hostname’ is not installed by default, and other packages also
 supply a ‘hostname’ command, so portable scripts should not rely on its
 existence or on the exact behavior documented above.
 
    An exit status of zero indicates success, and a nonzero value
 indicates failure.
