CentOS7的hostnamectl命令使用详解

centos7 上在主机名变更新增了一个hostnamectl 指令 ，该指令的无论在输出和更改上都较之前更加的便利。先看下hostname的help帮助信息：
 

从上面的help 帮助里可以看到，在设置主机名时，这里涉及到四种主机名，在hostnamectl 的man手册里给予了说明和解释，如下：

This tool distinguishes three different hostnames: the high-level "pretty" hostname which might include all kinds of special characters (e.g. "Lennart's
Laptop"), the static hostname which is used to initialize the kernel hostname at boot (e.g. "lennarts-laptop"), and the transient hostname which might be
assigned temporarily due to network configuration and might revert back to the static hostname if network connectivity is lost and is only temporarily
written to the kernel hostname (e.g. "dhcp-47-11").
Note that the pretty hostname has little restrictions on the characters used, while the static and transient hostnames are limited to the usually accepted
characters of Internet domain names.
更改主机名

一般情况下都是使用set-hostname进行更改：
 

The static hostname is stored in /etc/hostname, see hostname(5) for more information. The pretty hostname, chassis type, and icon name are stored in /etc/machine-info, see machine-id(5).
set-icon-name 设置的主机一般和图形界面会用到，对应的hostnamectl 输出中的Icon name  ，set-chassis 指定了主机的平台类型，如本机的是desktop，还可以设置为："desktop", "laptop", "server", "tablet", "handset"
