Tracking Issue for std::net::hostname #135142
Description
Feature gate: #![feature(gethostname)]
This is a tracking issue for retrieving the device's hostname.
rust-lang/libs-team#330 goes into far more detail; basically, "it seems to be a small but useful addition to std::net"
Public API
// std::net
pub fn hostname() -> std::io::Result<OsString>Steps / History
- Implementation: std: implement
hostname#146937 - Final comment period (FCP)1
- Implementation on Windows
- Switch to String before stabilization, as the hostname is guaranteed to be valid ASCII (OsString is therefore unnecessary).
- Stabilization PR
Unresolved Questions
- Will using
netcbe fine for all targets that supportstd, or do we need to do more here? I think so, since any new targets without a libc can just expose the same function signature undernetc(gethostname(ptr, len)) - On Windows, should this use GetComputerNameExW instead? See some discussion in Use gethostname on Windows djc/hostname#4
- Is the structure of this (with functions being directly under std::net) fine, with things like gethostbyname in mind?
