Obtain Hostname

Hi guys

Is there a function that retrieves the hostname as a string of the computer in which an application is running?

Thanks in advance

Try How to get the local hostname

Have a look at gethostbyname in MSDN

Do you mean Computer Name Or Computer's Full DNS name ?

You can use GetComputerName Or GetComputerNameEx.

I mean the name that I obtain when from prompt I type hostname
