as you can see, the -s option gets a hostname from the command line. so the user would run the program like this:
./serverstatus -s hostname

then that information is parsed and, (in my example) nmap is run on that host and the output of that scan is stored in a variable.

each next command line option invokes a number of different functions which accomplish different tasks.

hostconfig

hostconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    hostconfig(1M)

NAME

       hostconfig - configure a system's host parameters

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/hostconfig -p protocol [-d] [ -h] [-n] [-v]
	    [-i interface] [-f hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       The  hostconfig program uses a network protocol to acquire a machine's host parameters and set these parameters on the system.

       The program selects which protocol to use based on the argument to the required	-p flag. Different protocols may set different host param-
       eters. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is defined.

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -d	       Enable debug output.

       -f hostname     Run the protocol as if this machine were named hostname.

       -h	       Echo the received hostname to stdout, rather than setting hostname using the system name directly.

       -i interface    Use only the named network interface to run the protocol.

       -n	       Run the network protocol, but do not set the acquired parameters into the  system.

       -p protocol     Run hostconfig using protocol. Currently, only one protocol (bootparams) is available. This option is required.

		       Specifying the -p bootparams option uses the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol. This sets the system's	 hostname,
		       domainname, and default IP router parameters.

       -v	       Enable verbose output.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1 Configuring Host Parameters with Verbose Output

       The following command configures a machine's host parameters using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol with a verbose output.

	 example# hostconfig -p bootparams -v

       Example 2 Displaying Host Parameters

       The following command displays the parameters that would be set using the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.

	 example# hostconfig -p bootparams -n -v

       Example 3 Configuring Host Parameters Less the System Name

       The following command configures a machine's host parameters, less the system name, using  the whoami call of the RPC bootparams protocol.

	 example# hostconfig='hostconfig -p bootparams -h'
