BSD systems only provide hostname(1) and domainname(1).

For future use I recommend the native manual pages at

   $ lynx http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi

   $ lynx http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

   $ lynx http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi

Note the three different idioms for referencing.
