DOMAINNAME(1)		    General Commands Manual		 DOMAINNAME(1)

NAME
       domainname -- set or print name of current YP/NIS domain

SYNOPSIS
       domainname [ypdomain]

DESCRIPTION
       The  domainname	utility	 prints	the name of the	current	YP/NIS domain.
       The super-user can set the domain name by supplying an  argument;  this
       is  usually  done  with	the nisdomainname variable in the /etc/rc.conf
       file, normally run at boot time.

NOTES
       The YP/NIS (formerly ``Yellow Pages'' but renamed  for  legal  reasons)
       domain  name  does  not necessarily have	anything to do with the	Domain
       Name System domain name,	although they are often	set equal for adminis-
       trative convenience.

SEE ALSO
       getdomainname(3), rc.conf(5)

HISTORY
       The domainname command appeared in FreeBSD 1.1, based on	a similar com-
       mand in SunOS.

FreeBSD	13.2			April 22, 2013			 DOMAINNAME(1)
