i'm in intro to technology class and i have to find the definition of the command "hostname" you use on the computer and i already found it so no problem but

Question

i also have to find examples and i looked on the internet such sites as computerhope and others. but i can't really find any. can you please help me.

i also have to find the switches (aka commands) for hostname because they have different switches that represent different functions. so if you have hostname -a, that means you can print stuff. if you have -i, you can see the info list of the computer. obviously that was just an example so it's not actually right.
