NAME
       sethostid - Set the unique identifier of the current host

SYNOPSIS
       int sethostid(
	       int host_id );

PARAMETERS
       Specifies the unique 32-bit identifier for the current host.

DESCRIPTION
       The  sethostid()	 function allows a calling process with a root user ID
       to set a new 32-bit identifier for the current host.   The  sethostid()
       function	 enables an application program to reset the host ID. The host
       ID is a unique number that may be used by application programs.	It  is
       usually	set to the primary Internet address of the local machine, rep‐
       resented as a network standard byte order integer.

       The sethostid() function fails if the calling process does not have the
       superuser privilege.

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, the sethostid() function returns a value of
       0 (zero). If the sethostid() function fails, a value of -1 is  returned
       and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       If  the	sethostid()  function fails, errno may be set to the following
       value: The calling process does not have the appropriate privilege.
