# hostaddr(1)

    NAME
         hostaddr - show ethernet address, IP address or hostname

    SYNOPSIS
         hostaddr [-eiah] [-E eth-device] [-I ip-device]

    DESCRIPTION
         Without any of the -eia options, hostaddr shows the ethernet address,  IP
         address  and  hostname  of the local host on one line in the given order.
         With options only the wanted fields are shown, still in the  same  order,
         not in option order.

    OPTIONS

         -e   Show the ethernet address.

         -i   Show the IP address.

         -a   Show the fully qualified hostname.  The IP address is  shown  if  it
              can't be translated to a host name.  This usually indicates that the
              DNS reverse address translation tables are incomplete  or  that  the
              name daemon couldn't be contacted.

         -h   Set the hostname of the machine if  the  caller  is  the  superuser.
              (Used at boot time by the network initialization scripts.)
