# The `hostname` command
`hostname` is used to display the system's DNS name, and to display or set its hostname or NIS domain name.
### Syntax:
```
hostname [-a|--alias] [-d|--domain] [-f|--fqdn|--long] [-A|--all-fqdns] [-i|--ip-address] [-I|--all-ip-addresses] [-s|--short] [-y|--yp|--nis]
```
### Examples:
1. ``` hostname -a, hostname --alias ```
Display the alias name of the host (if used). This option is deprecated and should not be used anymore.
2. ```hostname -s, hostname --short```
Display the short host name. This is the host name cut at the first dot.
3. ```hostname -V, hostname --version```
Print version information on standard output and exit successfully.
