Name

getdomainname, setdomainname — get/set domain name

Synopsis

#include <unistd.h>
int getdomainname( char *  name,
  size_t   len);
int setdomainname( const char *  name,
  size_t   len);
[Note] Note
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
getdomainame(), setdomainame():
_BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)

DESCRIPTION

These functions are used to access or to change the domain name of the current processor. If the null-terminated domain name requires more than len bytes, getdomainname() returns the first len bytes (glibc) or returns an error (libc).

RETURN VALUE

On success, zero is returned. On error, −1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

EFAULT

For setdomainname(): name pointed outside of user address space.

EINVAL

For getdomainname() under libc: name is NULL or name is longer than len bytes.

EINVAL

For setdomainname(): len was negative or too large.

EPERM

For setdomainname(): the caller is unprivileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

CONFORMING TO

POSIX does not specify these calls.
