CALL HostNm(Name, Status)
Name: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(OUT).
Status: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).
Intrinsic groups: unix.
Description:
Fills Name with the system's host name returned by
gethostname(2).
If the Status argument is supplied, it contains
0 on success or a nonzero error code upon return
(ENOSYS if the system does not provide gethostname(2)).
Some non-GNU implementations of Fortran provide this intrinsic as only a function, not as a subroutine, or do not support the (optional) Status argument.
On some systems (specifically SCO) it might be necessary to link the
“socket” library if you call this routine.
Typically this means adding `-lg2c -lsocket -lm'
to the g77 command line when linking the program.
