      NAME
           hostid - set or print identifier of current host system

      SYNTAX
           hostid [ identifier ]

      DESCRIPTION
           The hostid command prints the identifier of the current host
           in hexadecimal.  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 hostid by giving a
           hexadecimal argument; this is usually done in the startup
           script /etc/rc.
