      NAME
           iphostid - set or print identifier of current host system

      SYNTAX
           iphostid [ identifier ]

      DESCRIPTION
           The iphostid command prints the identifier of the current
           host in Internet dot notation.  This numeric value is
           expected to be unique across all hosts and is normally set
           to the host's Internet address.  The super-user can set the
           iphostid by giving an Internet address; this is usually done
           in the startup script /etc/rc.  The Internet address can be
           found in the hosts(4) file.
