Hi

"hostname" in cygwin does not accept the normal unix/linux options as "-f",=
 "-d", etc.
"hostname -f" gives an error message.

We are using "hostname -f" when compiling our quantum chemistry package Dir=
ac, it is used to specify the full domain name in the output of calculation=
s. This is sometimes useful for tracking "where is this dirac.x compiled", =
if problems should arise which could be related to compiler problems or lib=
raries or ....

I would therefore appreciate if someone would implement at least the "-f" o=
ption of the hostname command, so we don't get error messages instead of th=
e hostname as output (and dirac.chem.sdu.dk tells more about where than jus=
t dirac).

PS. the builtin hostname in bash just ignore options. I am referring to /bi=
n/hostname.exe.
