NAME
hostaddr - show ethernet address, IP address or hostname
SYNOPSIS
hostaddr [-eiah] [-E eth-device] [-I ip-device]
DESCRIPTION
Without any of the -eia options, hostaddr shows the ethernet
address, IP address and hostname of the local host on one
line in the given order. With options only the wanted
fields are shown, still in the same order, not in option
order.
OPTIONS
-e Show the ethernet address.
-i Show the IP address.
-a Show the fully qualified hostname. The IP address is
shown if it can't be translated to a host name. This
usually indicates that the DNS reverse address transla-
tion tables are incomplete or that the name daemon
couldn't be contacted.
-h Set the hostname of the machine if the caller is the
superuser. (Used at boot time by the network initiali-
zation scripts.)
