HOSTADDR(1)                 General Commands Manual                HOSTADDR(1)

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 translation 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 initialization scripts.)
