It is possible + to source the configuration from shell scripts, + however, beyond mere variable assignments no shell + features are supported, allowing applications to read + the file without implementing a shell compatible + execution engine. + + /etc/machine-info contains + meta data about the machine that is set by the user or + administrator. + + Depending on the operating system other + configuration files might be checked for machine + information as well, however only as fallback. + + + + Options + + The following machine meta data parameters may + be set using + /etc/machine-info: + + + + + PRETTY_HOSTNAME= + + A pretty + human-readable UTF8 machine identifier + string. This should contain a name + like Lennart's + Laptop which is useful to + present to the user and does not + suffer by the syntax limitations of + internet domain names. If possible the + internet host name as configured in + /etc/hostname + should be kept similar to this + one. Example: if this value is + Lennart's Computer + an Internet host name of + lennarts-computer + might be a good choice. If this + parameter is not set an application + should fall back to the Internet host + name for presentation + purposes. + + + + ICON_NAME= + + An icon identifying + this machine according to the XDG + Icon Naming Specification. If + this parameter is not set an + application should fall back to + computer or a + similar icon name. + + + + + + + + Example + + PRETTY_NAME="Lennart's Computer" +ICON_NAME=computer-laptop + + + + See Also + + systemd1, + os-release5, + hostname5, + machine-id5 + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3-54-g00ecf
