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)

DuckDB

Retrieving the HOSTNAME environment variable

If the environment variable HOSTNAME has been exported to the DuckDB environment, its value can be obtained using the getenv() function. For example:

$ HOSTNAME=`hostname` duckdb -c "select getenv('HOSTNAME');"
┌────────────────────┐
│ getenv('HOSTNAME') │
│      varchar       │
├────────────────────┤
│ Mac-mini.local     │
└────────────────────┘

Importing the value of `hostname`

Assuming that DuckDB is executing in an environment in which there is a `hostname` command, the hostname can be viewed using one of DuckDB's "dot" commands as illustrated here:

.system hostname
Mac-mini.local

The value so obtained, however, is not directly available as an SQL value. This can be overcome by using one of the following workarounds:

"shellfs" extension

`shellfs` is a community extension which can also be used to import the hostname as follows:

D INSTALL shellfs from community;  -- once is enough
D LOAD shellfs;
D SELECT * from read_csv('hostname|', header=false, columns={'hostname': 'VARCHAR'});
┌────────────────┐
│    hostname    │
│    varchar     │
├────────────────┤
│ Mac-mini.local │
└────────────────┘

"Dynamic SQL"

One can also use DuckDB to generate the string for creating a suitable scalar function or variable, and then using `.read` to execute that string.

For example, using "SET VARIABLE" (introduced in DuckDB V1.1), you could proceed as follows:

D .shell hostname | sed -e 's/^/set variable hostname=\"/; s/$/\";/' > dynamic.tmp
D .read dynamic.tmp
D SELECT getvariable('hostname');
┌─────────────────────────┐
│ getvariable('hostname') │
│         varchar         │
├─────────────────────────┤
│ Mac-mini.local          │
└─────────────────────────┘

E

makeCommand("hostname")()[0].trim()

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

Limbo

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.

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_

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.

Tcl

The basic introspection tool in TCL is the info command. It can be used to find out about the version of the current Tcl or Tk, the available commands and libraries, variables, functions, the level of recursive interpreter invocation, and, amongst a myriad other things, the name of the current machine:

set hname [info hostname]

Ursa

out (ursa.net.localhost.name) endl console

Ursala

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

#import cli

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

For example, the following function returns the square root of its argument if it's running on host kremvax, but otherwise returns the square.

#import flo

creative_accounting = (hostname== 'kremvax')?(sqrt,sqr)

VBScript

Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WScript.Echo objNetwork.ComputerName

V (Vlang)

In Vlang, the "main()" entry point and declaration can be skipped in one file programs and when used like a script.

import os

println(os.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) {
    name, _ := os.Hostname()
    return name, nil
}

func main() {
    vm := wren.NewVM()
    fileName := "Hostname.wren"
    methodMap := wren.MethodMap{"static name()": hostname}
    classMap := wren.ClassMap{"Host": wren.NewClass(nil, nil, methodMap)}
    module := wren.NewModule(classMap)
    vm.SetModule(fileName, module)
    vm.InterpretFile(fileName)
    vm.Free()
}

Or open a server socket, which contains the hostname.
