OK, that's no big deal. But it looks like GetDomainName() doesn't
quite do what
it says on the can :-)
agreed... i was just looking around on my FPC 2.6.0 install and note the
following from rtl/unix/unix.pp
Function GetDomainName:String; deprecated; // because linux only.
I saw that as well, and wouldn't have raised it if I'd not been working
on x86 Linux. It might turn out to depend on the distro: I use Debian.
diggin in, i note that it seems to use the system's uname function...
but i think that is different than the command line "uname" or "uname
-a" because none of my linux machine return their FQDN in this output...
i note that it also seems to be pulling this function from a/the libc
library...
i note that both, GetDomainName and GetHostName both use the same var
(Sysn : utsname) but just different fields in what is apparently a
record of some type...
can't trace further... the grill and a pork loin are calling me... not
to mention other mouths in the location wanting some eats soon-ish...
It might be notable that Debian doesn't volunteer a domain name unless
it's able to contact DNS. I'll get onto nslookup, or just use temporary
text (it's only salt for a password hash, and is stored).
