+.SH NAME
+uts_namespaces \- overview of Linux UTS namespaces
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+UTS namespaces provide isolation of two system identifiers:
+the hostname and the NIS domain name.
+These identifiers are set using
+.BR sethostname (2)
+and
+.BR setdomainname (2),
+and can be retrieved using
+.BR uname (2),
+.BR gethostname (2),
+and
+.BR getdomainname (2).
+Changes made to these identifiers are visible to all other
+processes in the same UTS namespace,
+but are not visible to processes in other UTS namespaces.
+.P
+When a process creates a new UTS namespace using
+.BR clone (2)
+or
+.BR unshare (2)
+with the
+.B CLONE_NEWUTS
+flag, the hostname and domain name of the new UTS namespace are copied
+from the corresponding values in the caller's UTS namespace.
+.P
+Use of UTS namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
+.B CONFIG_UTS_NS
+option.
