    _\bH_\bo_\bs_\bt_\bi_\bd prints the identifier of the current host in hexade-
    cimal.  This numeric value is expected to be unique across
    all hosts and is commonly set to the host's Internet
    address.  The super-user can set the hostid by giving a hex-
    adecimal argument or the hostname; this is usually done in
    the startup script /_\be_\bt_\bc/_\bn_\be_\bt_\bs_\bt_\ba_\br_\bt.
