SYNOPSIS

   domainname [ domain ]
   nisdomainname [ domain ]
   ypdomainname [ domain ]

DESCRIPTION

   Without   an  argument, domainname displays the name of the current NIS
   domainname  of  the  system.   domainname  uses  the   getdomainname(2)
   function for getting the domainname, nisdomainname and ypdomainname are
   using yp_get_default_domain(3).

   Only the super-user can set the name of the domain  by  specifying  the
   new domain as an argument. All three programs uses setdomainname(2) for
   this. Bear in mind, that already running programs may continue  to  use
   the old domainname.
