    HOSTID(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		HOSTID(1)

    NAME
         hostid - set or print identifier of current host system

    SYNOPSIS
         hostid [ identifier ]

    DESCRIPTION
         The hostid command prints the identifier of the current host
         in hexadecimal.  This numeric value is expected to be unique
         across all hosts and is commonly set to the host's Internet
         address.  The super-user can set the hostid by giving a hex-
         adecimal argument or the hostname; this is usually done in
         the startup script /etc/rc.local.
