uts_namespaces - overview of Linux UTS namespaces
<A NAME="lbAC">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
UTS namespaces provide isolation of two system identifiers:
the hostname and the NIS domain name.
These identifiers are set using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+sethostname">sethostname</A></B>(2)
and
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+setdomainname">setdomainname</A></B>(2),
and can be retrieved using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+uname">uname</A></B>(2),
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+gethostname">gethostname</A></B>(2),
and
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+getdomainname">getdomainname</A></B>(2).
Changes made to these identifiers are visible to all other
processes in the same UTS namespace,
but are not visible to processes in other UTS namespaces.
<P>
<P>
When a process creates a new UTS namespace using
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+clone">clone</A></B>(2)
or
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?2+unshare">unshare</A></B>(2)
with the
<B>CLONE_NEWUTS</B>
flag, the hostname and domain of the new UTS namespace are copied
from the corresponding values in the caller's UTS namespace.
<P>
Use of UTS namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with the
<B>CONFIG_UTS_NS</B>
option.
