The command "hostname -I" is used to display the IP address assigned to the host (computer/server).
The "hostname" command is typically used to display or set the name of the host. By adding the "-I" option, it specifically instructs the command to output the IP addresses associated with the hostname.
This command is commonly used in Linux and Unix-based systems to quickly retrieve the IP address of the host without having to rely on graphical tools or a web-based interface.
