       The  gethostname()  function  shall  return  the standard host name for the current machine.  The namelen
       argument shall specify the size of the array pointed to by the name argument. The returned name shall  be
       null-terminated,  except  that  if  namelen  is  an  insufficient  length to hold the host name, then the
       returned name shall be truncated and it is unspecified whether the returned name is null-terminated.

       Host names are limited to {HOST_NAME_MAX} bytes.

       No errors are defined.
