SYSTEMD-H....SERVICE(8) systemd-hostnamed.serviceSYSTEMD-H....SERVICE(8)
systemd-hostnamed.service, systemd-hostnamed - Daemon to control
system hostname from programs
systemd-hostnamed.service
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed
systemd-hostnamed.service is a system service that may be used to
change the system's hostname and related machine metadata from
user programs. It is automatically activated on request and
terminates itself when unused.
It currently offers access to five variables:
• The current hostname (Example: "dhcp-192-168-47-11")
• The static (configured) hostname (Example:
"lennarts-computer")
• The pretty hostname (Example: "Lennart's Computer")
• A suitable icon name for the local host (Example:
"computer-laptop")
• A chassis type (Example: "tablet")
The static hostname is stored in /etc/hostname, see hostname(5)
for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon
name are stored in /etc/machine-info, see machine-info(5).
The tool hostnamectl(1) is a command line client to this service.
See org.freedesktop.hostname1(5) and
org.freedesktop.LogControl1(5) for a description of the D-Bus
API.
