I have been reading a book about network programming but I am confused about some terminology,
hostname, fqdn and canonical. I know something about fqdn, but what’s the difference among them? I really don’t understand what is a hostname.
Host name is nothing but it is a label name which is assigned to a device when it is connecting with a network. for example In internet a host name of the domain name assign to a local computer. en.wikipedia.org is an example of host name(en is a host name), (wikipedia.org) is a domain name.
