TRIMDOMAIN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual TRIMDOMAIN(3)NAMEtrimdomain — trim the current domain name from a host name
LIBRARY
System Utilities Library (libutil, -lutil)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <libutil.h>
void
trimdomain(char *fullhost, int hostsize);
DESCRIPTION
The function trimdomain() removes the current domain name from the passed
fullhost name by writing a NUL character over the first period of the
passed name. The current domain name is determined by calling
gethostname(3) and removing everything up to the first period. The name
is determined the first time this function is called and is cached for
future use.
trimdomain() will only trim the domain name if the passed fullname ends
with the current domain name and if the length of the resulting host name
does not exceed hostsize.
If the passed fullname is actually a DISPLAY specification of the form
host.domain:nn[.nn] and the domain name is the same as the local domain
name, trimdomain() will remove the embedded domain name, copying the
screen and display numbers to the end of the base host name and resulting
in host:nn[.nn].
RETURN VALUEStrimdomain() does not return a value.
