<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-hostnamed.service</filename> is a system service that may be used to change the
system's hostname and related machine metadata from user programs. It is automatically activated on
request and terminates itself when unused.</para>
<para>It currently offers access to five variables:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>The current hostname (Example: <literal>dhcp-192-168-47-11</literal>)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>The static (configured) hostname (Example:
<literal>lennarts-computer</literal>)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>The pretty hostname (Example: <literal>Lennart's Computer</literal>)</para>
</listitem>
<listitem><para>A suitable icon name for the local host (Example:
<literal>computer-laptop</literal>)</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A chassis type (Example: <literal>tablet</literal>)</para>
</listitem>
</itemizedlist></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>The tool
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry> is a
command line client to this service.</para>
