+    <title>Description</title>
+
+    <para>The <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> file configures the
+    name of the local system that is set during boot using the
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>sethostname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    system call. It should contain a single newline-terminated
+    hostname string.  Comments (lines starting with a `#') are ignored.
+    The hostname may be a free-form string up to 64 characters in length;
+    however, it is recommended that it consists only of 7-bit ASCII lower-case
+    characters and no spaces or dots, and limits itself to the format allowed
+    for DNS domain name labels, even though this is not a strict
+    requirement.</para>
+
+    <para>You may use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to change the value of this file during runtime from the command
+    line. Use
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-firstboot</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    to initialize it on mounted (but not booted) system images.</para>
