NAME
       gethostid - get unique identifier of current host

SYNOPSIS
       hostid = gethostid()
       long hostid;

DESCRIPTION
       Gethostid returns a CPU identification number which is guaranteed to be
       unique for each CPU.  This allows third-party software vendors  to  use
       the  hostid for copy protection.	 The hostid is a four byte number with
       the first byte being the CPU version (only version 1 exists today)  and
       the  last  three bytes are the last three bytes in the ethernet address
       (which are guaranteed to be unique).
