# 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 ```

2. ```hostname -s, hostname --short```

Display the short host name. This is the host name cut at the first dot.
