| 9385eb3d A |
47 | The |
| 48 | .Fn sethostid | |
| 49 | function | |
| ad3c9f2a A |
50 | establishes a 32-bit identifier for the current processor. |
| 51 | The id, intended to be unique among all UNIX systems in existence, | |
| 52 | is normally a DARPA Internet address for the local machine. | |
| 3d9156a7 | 53 | This call is allowed only to the |
| 5b2abdfb A |
54 | super-user and is normally performed at boot time. |
