If you type "apropos hostname" you get a list that includes that command.
I quote this line, because "apropos" is an often forgotten command, yet very usefull :-)
I tend to use "man -k hostname", not sure how different they are.
Well in all cases, thank you to you both and jdd for quoting it, in fact, apropos is a thing that sticks easy to my "bucket brain" with a lot of hole in it....
man is also nice, but I still have problems to read output on CLI, there was once a problem to put it into pdf, but then, I best read - unsustainable I admit it - printed on paper. Maybe I need a 30" screen to fully show an A4.
Don't know what you're using now, but I have two setups, one with a 24" screen, one with a 27". I notice
a real improvement going to the 27".
--doug At what resolution? Count that I was not joking with mandarin. Imagine you need to read the following text: 在布鲁塞尔，您有优质的威化饼。 or compare to same size letters: Zài bùlǔsài'ěr, nín yǒu yōuzhì de wēi huà bǐng. It is obvious that the screen quality counts. An educated eye does not need to see every stroke but my eyes are a) not educated well and b) aging. With 20 years that would not have been an argument.
So I am currently with 24" and not very happy. I am also not decided if to look at a very high native resolution or to seek a monitor with a lower but supported resolution. I fear a bit the "pixel" effect. I also use Kaffeine to watch movies on the screen. So that is why I am a bit on: when in doubt take it oversize... Just not wanting to play "tetris" every day because of wrong choices. That size monitor here is available but practically only by ordering on the web. So no way to see the model "life" before. Going probably for HDMI and display port.
