The command "uname --nodename" is used to retrieve the network node hostname of the current system.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
-
"uname" is a command-line utility in Unix-like operating systems that stands for "Unix name." It provides information about the system and the operating system distribution.
-
"--nodename" is an option that can be passed to the "uname" command. It instructs the command to specifically retrieve the network node hostname of the system.
The network node hostname refers to the name assigned to a system on a network. It identifies and distinguishes the system from other devices on the same network.
By running the "uname --nodename" command, you will receive the network node hostname of your current system.
