# os-hostname [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/martinheidegger/os-hostname.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/martinheidegger/os-hostname)

Simple [node.js](https://nodejs.org/) util that returns the hostname of the current system if evaluable.

On windows this util is aware of the domain using the `COMPUTERNAME` environment variable.

On other systems it uses the `HOSTNAME` environment variable.

If the environment variable is not given or empty on other systems it will fallback to [`hostname`](http://www.linfo.org/hostname_command.html) which is also available on [windows](https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490919.aspx).

# Usage 

Install with:

```

$ npm i os-hostname --save

```

and use it with:

```JavaScript

var hostname = require('os-hostname')

hostname(function (err, hname) {

    console.log(hname)

})

```

cheers.
