Manual pages sections
Almost all UNIX operating systems have voluminous documentation known as manual pages. Every page is a document. If one wants to read a page then the command man at a shell prompt will show the manual, for example, "man ftp". Pages are referred by using the notation "name(manual-section)", for example time(1).

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros (7)):

getdomainame () setdomainame (): _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)

DESCRIPTION

These functions are used to access or to change the domain name of the current processor. If the null-terminated domain name requires more than len bytes, getdomainname () returns the first len bytes (glibc) or returns an error (libc).

RETURN VALUE

On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.

ERRORS

EFAULT For setdomainname (): name pointed outside of user address space.

EINVAL For getdomainname () under libc: name is NULL or name is longer than len bytes.

EINVAL For setdomainname (): len was negative or too large.

EPERM For setdomainname (): the caller is unprivileged (Linux: does not have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability).

CONFORMING TO

POSIX does not specify these calls.
