trimdomain
TRIMDOMAIN(3) BSD Library Functions Manual TRIMDOMAIN(3)
NAME
trimdomain -- 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.
The trimdomain() function 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 VALUES
The trimdomain() function does not return a value.
