NAME
       pmhostname - report hostname

SYNOPSIS
       $PCP_BINADM_DIR/pmhostname [hostname]

DESCRIPTION
       pmhostname  reports  the name of the host hostname as returned by geth‐
       ostbyname(3N).

       If hostname is not specified, then the local  host  name	 is  retrieved
       using gethostname(2) and this is than passed to gethostbyname(3N).

       pmhostname  provides  a service for shell scripts that mimics the logic
       formerly used by	 Performance  Co-Pilot	applications  when  trying  to
       determine  the official name of a host.	PCP applications no longer use
       DNS-based heuristics, and therefore this command is deprecated.

       If gethostbyname(3N) fails, the input host name (either hostname or the
       result from calling gethostname(2)) is reported.

PCP ENVIRONMENT
       Environment variables with the prefix PCP_ are used to parameterize the
       file and directory names used by PCP.  On each installation,  the  file
       /etc/pcp.conf  contains	the  local  values  for	 these variables.  The
       $PCP_CONF variable may be used to specify an alternative	 configuration
       file, as described in pcp.conf(5).
