       uts_namespaces - overview of Linux UTS namespaces

DESCRIPTION top

       UTS namespaces provide isolation of two system identifiers: the
       hostname and the NIS domain name.  These identifiers are set
       using sethostname(2) and setdomainname(2), and can be retrieved
       using uname(2), gethostname(2), and getdomainname(2).  Changes
       made to these identifiers are visible to all other processes in
       the same UTS namespace, but are not visible to processes in other
       UTS namespaces.

       When a process creates a new UTS namespace using clone(2) or
       unshare(2) with the CLONE_NEWUTS flag, the hostname and domain
       name of the new UTS namespace are copied from the corresponding
       values in the caller's UTS namespace.

       Use of UTS namespaces requires a kernel that is configured with
       the CONFIG_UTS_NS option.
