- Hi,
-
- Some people started asking about the gethostid() call in linux.
- gethostid()/sethostid() was supported from libc-4.4.2b onwards but nothing
- written to query/set it. So I wacked this up in a few minutes and added
- International support too just as an example of how to do it.
-
- Please take out -DNLS from the Makefile if you don't want International
- support. If you do want it then you must also have the `gencat' binary
- to compile a catalog for your own language. Look in
-
- sunsite.unc.edu /pub/Linux/utils/nls/catalogs/cat-pack.tar.gz
-
- I had actually sent this to Rik Faith for inclusion in his util-1.x package
- a while ago, but it never showed up. So I release it myelf to the public.
-
- Questions/Help to me.
