.TH UTS_NAMESPACES 7 2019-08-02 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
namespaces \- overview of Linux UTS namespaces
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
UTS namespaces provide isolation of two system identifiers:
|
|
the hostname and the NIS domain name.
|
|
These identifiers are set using
|
|
.BR sethostname (2)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR setdomainname (2),
|
|
and can be retrieved using
|
|
.BR uname (2),
|
|
.BR gethostname (2),
|
|
and
|
|
.BR getdomainname (2).
|
|
.PP
|
|
.PP
|
|
When a process creates a new UTS namespace using
|
|
.BR clone (2)
|
|
or
|
|
.BR unshare (2)
|
|
with the
|
|
.BR CLONE_NEWUTS
|
|
flag, the hostname and domain of the new UTS namespace are copied
|
|
from the corresponding values in the caller's UTS namespace.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Use of UTS namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
|
|
.B CONFIG_UTS_NS
|
|
option.
