bk gethost(7.3ce) BitKeeper User's Manual bk gethost(7.3ce)
NAME
bk gethost - display machine name
SYNOPSIS
bk gethost [-nr]
DESCRIPTION
Outputs the fully-qualified name of the machine. Used primarily when
doing BitKeeper scripting.
-n print the internet address instead of the host
-r print the real host name, ignoring $BK_HOST.
NOTES
On some UNIX systems, it can happen that BitKeeper will output an error
message complaining that localhost is an invalid hostname. Often the
fix is to simply add a fully qualified hostname to /etc/hosts. For
example:
::1 localhost6 yourhost.yourdomain.com
