home node if it is migrated. This is the default.

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
By default, \fBhostname\fR prints out the official name of the host on
which the process ``appears'' to be executing,
as specified in the
host description file. (This is equivalent to the \fB\-v\fR, or virtual host,
option.) Other options may be used to specify that information about the host
on which the process is currently physically executing be printed, or that
the integer sprite ID of the host is to be printed instead of host name.
.SH KEYWORDS
host, name, migration, physical host, virtual host
