     _H_o_s_t_i_d 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 /_e_t_c/_n_e_t_s_t_a_r_t.
