/* SUMMARY
/*	network domain name lookup
/* SYNOPSIS

/*	const char *get_domainname()
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	get_domainname() returns the local domain name as obtained
/*	by stripping the hostname component from the result from
/*	get_hostname().  The result is the hostname when get_hostname()
/*	does not return a FQDN form ("foo"), or its result has only two
/*	components ("foo.com").
/* DIAGNOSTICS
