29 #include "curl_gethostname.h"
32 * Curl_gethostname() is a wrapper around gethostname() which allows
33 * overriding the host name that the function would normally return.
34 * This capability is used by the test suite to verify exact matching
35 * of NTLM authentication, which exercises libcurl's MD4 and DES code.
37 * For libcurl debug enabled builds host name overriding takes place
38 * when environment variable CURL_GETHOSTNAME is set, using the value
39 * held by the variable to override returned host name.
41 * For libcurl shared library release builds the test suite preloads
42 * another shared library named libhostname using the LD_PRELOAD
43 * mechanism which intercepts, and might override, the gethostname()
44 * function call. In this case a given platform must support the
45 * LD_PRELOAD mechanism and additionally have environment variable
46 * CURL_GETHOSTNAME set in order to override the returned host name.
48 * For libcurl static library release builds no overriding takes place.
