Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] virConnectGetHostname: return a fully qualified hostname

The attached patch makes virConnectGetHostname try a little harder to get a FQDN on systems where gethostname only returns a short name without a domain (which is pretty useless). The behavior is equivalent to 'hostname --fqdn'. > From 2ae57d0c8c68c453b3f9715fcc9f83af0ebe84a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Lutterkort <lutter(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 18:34:39 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] virConnectGetHostname: return a fully qualified hostname Instead of doing the equivalent of 'hostname', do 'hostname --fqdn', i.e. try to qualify the local host name by an additional call to gethostbyname(3) + +char *virGetHostname(void) +{ + int r; + char hostname[HOST_NAME_MAX+1], *str; + struct hostent *he; + + r = gethostname (hostname, HOST_NAME_MAX+1); + if (r == -1) + return NULL; + if (!(he = gethostbyname(hostname))) + return NULL;
