domainname(1)                       CLIX                       domainname(1)



  NAME

    domainname - Sets or displays the current NIS domain name

  SYNOPSIS

    domainname [nameofdomain]

  DESCRIPTION

    Without an argument, domainname displays the name of the current domain.
    Only the superuser can set the name of the current domain by giving an
    argument; this is usually done in the startup script /etc/nfs.  (See
    nfs(8).)  Currently, domains are used only by the Network Information
    Service (NIS), to refer collectively to a group of hosts.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To display the name of the current domain:

        domainname


    2.  To set the current domain name:

        domainname nameofdomain


  EXIT VALUES

    Exit values are errnos from the getdomainname() and setdomainame()
    functions.  The only value that might be returned, given a correctly-
    written domainname command is the following:

    22   ([EINVAL])  The domain name specified is greater than 64 characters.
