CcHostname
CcHostname is a singleton class useful for obtaining information about the host system throughout systemd-hostnamed.
CcHostname contains a proxy to the org.freedesktop.hostname1 interface over DBus.
The main CcHostname methods are:
CcHostname.get_display_hostname
Obtains the system "Pretty Hostname". See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/hostnamectl.html#hostname%20%5BNAME%5D
CcHostname.get_display_hostname
Obtains the system "Static Hostname".
CcHostname.set_hostname
Allows for setting the system "pretty" and "static" hostnames (SetPrettyHostname and SetStaticHostname).
CcHostname.get_chassis_type
Useful for when we want to condition the behaviour based on whether the device running Settings is a laptop, desktop, server, tablet, handset, etc.... See https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/hostnamectl.html#chassis%20%5BTYPE%5D
CcHostname.is_vm_chassis
A convenient function that calls CcHostname.get_chassis_type internally to determine whether Settings is running in a virtual machine environment.
CcHostname.get_property
Allows for queying other systemd-hostnamed properties. See hostnamectl status to list the available options.
