       (FQDN) of the current host. From this determine the host-name and the
       host-domain.

       determined.

   Functions
       hostfqdn()
           Identify and return the FQDN of the current host.

       domainname()
           An alias for hostfqdn().

       hostname()
           Returns the smallest part of the FQDN which can be used to identify
           the host.

       hostdomain()
           Returns the remainder of the FQDN after the hostname has been
           removed.
