+
+    <para><command>hostnamectl</command> may be used to query and
+    change the system hostname and related settings.</para>
+
+    <para>This tool distinguishes three different hostnames: the
+    high-level "pretty" hostname which might include all kinds of
+    special characters (e.g. "Lennart's Laptop"), the static hostname
+    which is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot (e.g.
+    "lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname which is a fallback
+    value received from network configuration. If a static hostname is
+    set, and is valid (something other than localhost), then the
+    transient hostname is not used.</para>
+
+    <para>Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the characters and length used, while the static and
+    transient hostnames are limited to the usually accepted characters of Internet domain names, and 64 characters at
+    maximum (the latter being a Linux limitation).</para>
+
+    <para>The static hostname is stored in
+    <filename>/etc/hostname</filename>, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon
+    name are stored in <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>, see
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
+
+    <para>Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to initialize the system hostname for mounted (but not booted)
+    system images.</para>

+        <term><command>status</command></term>
+
+        <listitem><para>Show current system hostname and related information. If no command is specified,

+        <term><command>set-hostname <replaceable>NAME</replaceable></command></term>
+
+        <listitem><para>Set the system hostname to <replaceable>NAME</replaceable>. By default, this will alter the
+        pretty, the static, and the transient hostname alike; however, if one or more of <option>--static</option>,
+        <option>--transient</option>, <option>--pretty</option> are used, only the selected hostnames are changed. If
+        the pretty hostname is being set, and static or transient are being set as well, the specified hostname will be
+        simplified in regards to the character set used before the latter are updated. This is done by removing special
+        characters and spaces. This ensures that the pretty and the static hostname are always closely related while
+        still following the validity rules of the specific name. This simplification of the hostname string is not done
+        if only the transient and/or static hostnames are set, and the pretty hostname is left untouched.</para>
+
+        <para>Pass the empty string <literal></literal> as the
+        hostname to reset the selected hostnames to their default
