On error, \-1 is returned, and .I errno is set appropriately. .SH ERRORS .TP .B EINVAL For .BR getdomainname , .I name points to .B NULL or .I name is longer than .IR len . .TP .B EPERM For .BR setdomainname , the caller was not the superuser. .TP .B EINVAL For .BR setdomainname , .I len was too long. .SH "CONFORMING TO" POSIX does not specify these calls. .SH BUGS .B getdomainname is not compliant with other implementations, since they always return .I len bytes, even if .I name is longer. Linux, however, returns .B EINVAL in this case (as of DLL 4.4.1 libraries). .SH NOTES Under Linux, .B getdomainname is implemented at the library level by calling .BR uname (2). .SH "SEE ALSO" .BR gethostname "(2), " sethostname "(2), " uname (2)
