Similarly to [[Discover the Hostname#MATLAB|MATLAB]], we could call system command <tt>hostname</tt> to know the hostname. But we can also call the internal function <tt>uname()</tt> which returns a structure holding several informations, among these the hostname (nodename):

<syntaxhighlight lang="octave">uname().nodename</syntaxhighlight>

=={{header|ooRexx}}==
These solutions are platform specific.
===Windows Platform===
A solution using ActiveX/OLE on Windows

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">say .oleObject~new('WScript.Network')~computerName</syntaxhighlight>

and one using the Windows environment variables

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">say value('COMPUTERNAME',,'environment')</syntaxhighlight>

===UNIX Platform===
Some UNIX solutions (tested under Mac OS X):

ooRexx (and [[REXX|Rexx]]) can issue commands directly to the shell it's running under.
Output of the shell commands will normally be STDOUT and STDERR.
These next two samples will simply output the host name to the console if the program is run from a command prompt.
:'''Note:''' The '''<tt>address command</tt>''' clause causes the contents of the literal string that follows it to be sent to the command shell.

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">address command 'hostname -f'</syntaxhighlight>

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">address command "echo $HOSTNAME"</syntaxhighlight>

Command output can also be captured by the program to allow further processing.
ooRexx provides an external data queue manager ('''''<tt>rxqueue</tt>''''') that can be used for this.
In the following examples output written to STDOUT/STDERR is piped into '''<tt>rxqueue</tt>''' which sends it in turn to a Rexx queue for further processing by the program:

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">/* Rexx */
address command "echo $HOSTNAME | rxqueue"
address command "hostname -f | rxqueue"
loop q_ = 1 while queued() > 0
parse pull hn
say q_~right(2)':' hn
end q_
</syntaxhighlight>

A utility class is also provided as a wrapper around the external data queue:

<syntaxhighlight lang="oorexx">/* Rexx */
qq = .rexxqueue~new()
address command "echo $HOSTNAME | rxqueue"
address command "hostname -f | rxqueue"
loop q_ = 1 while qq~queued() > 0
hn = qq~pull()
say q_~right(2)':' hn
end q_

Each REXX interpreter has their own name (some have multiple names) for the environmental variables.
<br>Different operating systems may call their hostnames by different identifiers.
<br>IBM mainframes (at one time) called the name of the host as a ''nodename'' and it needn't be

CoffeeScript

os = require 'os'
console.log os.hostname()

Common Lisp

Another operating system feature that is implemented differently across lisp implementations. Here we show how to create a function that obtains the required result portably by working differently for each supported implementation. This technique is heavily used to make portable lisp libraries.

(defun get-host-name ()
    #+(or sbcl ccl) (machine-instance)
    #+clisp (let ((s (machine-instance))) (subseq s 0 (position #\Space s)))
    #-(or sbcl ccl clisp) (error "get-host-name not implemented"))
Library: CFFI

Another way is to use the FFI to access POSIX' gethostname(2):

(cffi:defcfun ("gethostname" c-gethostname) :int
  (buf :pointer) (len :unsigned-long))

(defun get-hostname ()
  (cffi:with-foreign-object (buf :char 256)
    (unless (zerop (c-gethostname buf 256))
      (error "Can't get hostname"))
    (values (cffi:foreign-string-to-lisp buf))))

  if GetComputerName(lHostName, lBufferSize) then
    Writeln(lHostName)
  else
    Writeln('error getting host name');
end.

E

Not exactly a good way to do it. A better way ought to be introduced along with a proper socket interface.

NB. fetch and implicitly display the hostname

  > {: sdgethostname ''

NB. If fetching the hostname is the only reason for loading the socket libraries,
NB. and the hostname is fetched only once, then use a 'one-liner' to accomplish it:

JavaScript

Works with: JScript
var network = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Network');
var hostname = network.computerName;
WScript.echo(hostname);

jq

Currently jq does not have a "gethostname" or a "system" command, so the best ways for a jq program to have access to the hostname are via an environment variable, or via a command line argument, as illustrated here:

HOST=$(hostname) jq -n --arg hostname $(hostname) '[env.HOST, $hostname]'
Output:
[
  "mini.local",
  "mini.local"
]

As with nearly anything in Inferno, it boils down to reading a file:

implement Hostname;

include "sys.m"; sys: Sys;
include "draw.m";

Hostname: module {
	init: fn(nil: ref Draw->Context, nil: list of string);
};

init(nil: ref Draw->Context, nil: list of string)
{
	sys = load Sys Sys->PATH;
	buf := array[Sys->ATOMICIO] of byte;

	fd := sys->open("/dev/sysname", Sys->OREAD);
	if(fd == nil)
		die("Couldn't open /dev/sysname");

	n := sys->read(fd, buf, len buf - 1);
	if(n < 1)
		die("Couldn't read /dev/sysname");

	buf[n++] = byte '\n';
	sys->write(sys->fildes(1), buf, n);
}

die(s: string)
{
	sys->fprint(sys->fildes(2), "hostname: %s: %r", s);
	raise "fail:errors";
}

Sys->ATOMICIO is usually 8 kilobytes; this version truncates if you have a ridiculously long hostname.

Nim

There are several ways to get the host name, for instance reading the environment variable HOSTNAME or calling the low level Posix function “gethostname”. The simplest way consists to use the function “getHostName” from module “nativeSockets”:

import nativesockets
echo getHostName()

Octave

Similarly to MATLAB, we could call system command hostname to know the hostname. But we can also call the internal function uname() which returns a structure holding several informations, among these the hostname (nodename):

uname().nodename

ooRexx

These solutions are platform specific.

Windows Platform

A solution using ActiveX/OLE on Windows

say .oleObject~new('WScript.Network')~computerName

and one using the Windows environment variables

say value('COMPUTERNAME',,'environment')

UNIX Platform

Some UNIX solutions (tested under Mac OS X):

ooRexx (and Rexx) can issue commands directly to the shell it's running under. Output of the shell commands will normally be STDOUT and STDERR. These next two samples will simply output the host name to the console if the program is run from a command prompt.

Note: The address command clause causes the contents of the literal string that follows it to be sent to the command shell.
address command 'hostname -f'
address command "echo $HOSTNAME"

Command output can also be captured by the program to allow further processing. ooRexx provides an external data queue manager (rxqueue) that can be used for this. In the following examples output written to STDOUT/STDERR is piped into rxqueue which sends it in turn to a Rexx queue for further processing by the program:

/* Rexx */
address command "echo $HOSTNAME | rxqueue"
address command "hostname -f | rxqueue"
loop q_ = 1 while queued() > 0
  parse pull hn
  say q_~right(2)':' hn
  end q_

A utility class is also provided as a wrapper around the external data queue:

/* Rexx */
qq = .rexxqueue~new()
address command "echo $HOSTNAME | rxqueue"
address command "hostname -f | rxqueue"
loop q_ = 1 while qq~queued() > 0
  hn = qq~pull()
  say q_~right(2)':' hn
  end q_

Oz

{System.showInfo {OS.getHostByName 'localhost'}.name}

PARI/GP

Running the hostname or uname program and capturing its output (the first line of output) in a string.

str = externstr("hostname")[1];
str = externstr("uname -n")[1];

Pascal

For Windows systems see the Delphi example. On Unix systems, FreePascal has the function GetHostName:

Program HostName;

uses
  unix;

begin
  writeln('The name of this computer is: ', GetHostName);
end.

Output example on Mac OS X:

The name of this computer is: MyComputer.local

Perl

Works with: Perl version 5.8.6
use Sys::Hostname;

$name = hostname;

Phix

without js -- (system_exec, file i/o)
constant tmp = "hostname.txt",
         cmd = iff(platform()=WINDOWS?"hostname":"uname -n")
{} = system_exec(sprintf("%s > %s",{cmd,tmp}),4)
string host = trim(get_text(tmp))
{} = delete_file("hostname.txt")
?host
Output:
"Pete-PC"

PHP

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
echo php_uname('n');
Works with: PHP version 5.3+
echo gethostname();

PicoLisp

This will just print the hostname:

(call 'hostname)

PowerBASIC

This retreives the localhost's name:

HOST NAME TO hostname$

This attempts to retreive the name of an arbitrary machine on the network (assuming ipAddress& is valid):

HOST NAME ipAddress& TO hostname$

PowerShell

Windows systems have the ComputerName environment variable which can be used:

$Env:COMPUTERNAME

Also PowerShell can use .NET classes and methods:

[Net.Dns]::GetHostName()

PureBasic

Python

Works with: Python version 2.5
import socket
host = socket.gethostname()

R

Sys.info provides information about the platform that R is running on. The following code returns the hostname as a string.

Sys.info()[["nodename"]]

Note that Sys.info isn't guaranteed to be available on all platforms. As an alternative, you can call an OS command.

system("hostname", intern = TRUE)

... or retrieve an environment variable

env_var <- ifelse(.Platform$OS.type == "windows", "COMPUTERNAME", "HOSTNAME") 
Sys.getenv(env_var)

REXX

REGINA and PC/REXX under most MS NT Windows

This REXX solution is for REGINA and PC/REXX under the Microsoft NT family of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, etc).
Other names could be used for the 3rd argument.

The   computername   is the same as the output for the   hostname.exe   program.

say value('COMPUTERNAME',,"ENVIRONMENT")
say value('OS',,"ENVIRONMENT")

output (using Windows/XP)

GERARD46
Windows_NT

R4 and ROO under most MS NT Windows

This REXX solution is for R4 and ROO under the Microsoft NT family of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, etc).
Other names could be used for the 3rd argument.

say value('COMPUTERNAME',,"SYSTEM")
say value('OS',,"SYSTEM")

MS DOS (without Windows), userid

Under Microsoft DOS (with no Windows), the closest thing to a name of a host would be the userid.

say userid()

MS DOS (without Windows), version of DOS

But perhaps the name or version of the MS DOS system would be more appropriate than the userid.

'VER'    /*this passes the  VER  command to the MS DOS system. */

Each REXX interpreter has their own name (some have multiple names) for the environmental variables.
Different operating systems may call their hostnames by different identifiers.
IBM mainframes (at one time) called the name of the host as a nodename and it needn't be
specified, in which case an asterisk (*) is returned.
I recall (perhaps wrongly) that Windows/95 and Windows/98 had a different environmental name for the name of the host.

UNIX Solution

This solution is platform specific and uses features that are available to the Regina implementation of Rexx.

Tested with Regina on Mac OS X. Should work on other UNIX/Linux distros.
/* Rexx */
address command "hostname -f" with output stem hn.
do q_ = 1 to hn.0
  say hn.q_
  end q_

The user-defined hostname function ignores its argument and returns a string.

#import cli

hostname = ~&hmh+ (ask bash)/<>+ <'hostname'>!

Wren

Wren CLI doesn't currently expose a way to find the host name.

However, if Wren is embedded in (say) a suitable Go program, then we can ask the latter to get it for us.

/* Hostname.wren */
class Host {
    foreign static name() // the code for this is provided by Go
}

System.print(Host.name())

which we embed in the following Go program and run it.

Library: WrenGo
/* Hostname.go */
package main

import (
    wren "github.com/crazyinfin8/WrenGo"
    "os"
)

type any = interface{}

func hostname(vm *wren.VM, parameters []any) (any, error) {
