The preferred way under USG UNIX (as all the BTLers out there have probably
already concluded) is to do a "uname" system call and suck the name out
of the "sysname" or "nodename" field.  In fact, under 4.2BSD you should get
the name from a "gethostname" system call.

There isn't one, so you'd probably have to ignore it.
