hostName()

std::string System::Linux::hostName

Get the system's host name.

      // to fit into the array provided by the user, the call will truncate the
      // name to fit into the array, without adding a terminating null
      // character at the end, and will not signal an error to the caller.
      // While SUSv2 guarantees that "Host names are limited to 255 bytes", and
      // the limit to host names is in practice 64 characters on Linux, just to
      // be safe, the last character of the returned array is set to null
      // forecfully.
