.SH DESCRIPTION
Hostnames are domains, where a domain is a hierarchical, dot-separated
list of subdomains; for example, the machine monet, in the Berkeley
subdomain of the EDU subdomain of the Internet would be represented as
monet.Berkeley.EDU
(with no trailing dot).
subdomain of the EDU domain would be represented as "monet.Berkeley.EDU".
Hostnames are often used with network client and server programs,
which must generally translate the name to an address for use.
