Here is a version of `gethostname()' for sys v systems that should do
what the Foxes (;-) want.  Now Sys 5 systems don't have to be special-cased
there.


#include <sys/utsname.h>

gethostname(name, namlen) 
char *name;
int namlen;
{
	int i;
	struct utsname uts;

	uname(&uts);
	i = strlen(uts.nodename) + 1;
	strncpy(name, uts.nodename, i < namlen ? i : namlen);
	return 0;
}
