genders_getnodename - get the current node name
Contents
Description
genders_getnodename() retrieves the name of the node that the function is being called from. The node
name returned is the shortened hostname of the node and is stored in the buffer pointed to be node. len
should indicate the length of the buffer. The node returned by genders_getnodename() is the shortened
hostname of the node.
To avoid passing in a buffer that is not large enough to store the node name, genders_getmaxnodelen(3)
should be used to determine the minimum buffer size that should be used.
