Synopsis
/usr/ucb/cc [flag . . . ] file . . .
gethostid(void);
Description
This routine is provided for compatibility with applications originally
written for BSD systems; new or ported applications should use
the equivalent System V routines instead.

gethostid(3C).
gethostid returns the 32-bit identifier for the current host,
which should be unique across all hosts. This number is
usually taken from the CPU board's ID PROM.
