+The function
+.BR gethostname(2)
+is used to get the hostname. When the
+.BR "hostname \-a, \-d, \-f or \-i"
+is called will
+.BR gethostbyname(3)
+be called. The difference in
+.BR gethostname(2)
+and
+.BR gethostbyname(3)
+is that
+.BR gethostbyname(3)
+is network aware, so it consults
+.IR /etc/nsswitch.conf
+and
+.IR /etc/host.conf
+to decide whether to read information in
+.IR /etc/hostname
+or
+.IR /etc/hosts
