domainname [ nameofdomain ]

DESCRIPTION

Without an argument, domainname prints the name of the current domain.  With an argument, domainname sets the domain’s name to be the argument.  Only the super-user can set the domainname.  Usually the domainname is set in the startup script /etc/rc.local. 

Currently, domains are used only by the yellow pages to refer collectively to a group of hosts.
