DESCRIPTION

       systemd-hostnamed is a system service that may be used as a mechanism to change the
       system's hostname.  systemd-hostnamed is automatically activated on request and terminates
       itself when it is unused.

       The tool hostnamectl(1) is a command line client to this service.

       See the developer documentation[1] for information about the APIs systemd-hostnamed
       provides.
