- <title>Description</title>
-
- <para>The <filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> file contains
- machine metadata.</para>
-
- <para>The basic file format of <filename>machine-info</filename>
- is a newline-separated list of environment-like shell-compatible
- variable assignments. It is possible to source the configuration
- from shell scripts, however, beyond mere variable assignments no
- shell features are supported, allowing applications to read the
- file without implementing a shell compatible execution
- engine.</para>
-
- <para><filename>/etc/machine-info</filename> contains metadata
- about the machine that is set by the user or administrator.</para>
-
- <para>Depending on the operating system other configuration files
- might be checked for machine information as well, however only as
- fallback.</para>
-
- <para>You may use
- <citerefentry><refentrytitle>hostnamectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>
- to change the settings of this file from the command line.</para>

- <variablelist>
-
- <varlistentry>
- <term><varname>PRETTY_HOSTNAME=</varname></term>
-
- <listitem><para>A pretty human-readable UTF-8 machine
- identifier string. This should contain a name like
- <literal>Lennart's Laptop</literal> which is useful to present
- to the user and does not suffer by the syntax limitations of
- internet domain names. If possible, the internet hostname as
- configured in <filename>/etc/hostname</filename> should be
- kept similar to this one. Example: if this value is
- <literal>Lennart's Computer</literal> an Internet hostname of
- <literal>lennarts-computer</literal> might be a good choice.
- If this parameter is not set, an application should fall back
- to the Internet host name for presentation
- purposes.</para></listitem>

- <varlistentry>
- <term><varname>ICON_NAME=</varname></term>

- <literal>desktop</literal>,
- <literal>laptop</literal>,
- <literal>server</literal>,
- <literal>tablet</literal>,
- <literal>handset</literal>,
- <literal>watch</literal>, and
- <literal>embedded</literal>
- as well as the special chassis types
- <literal>vm</literal> and
- <literal>container</literal> for
- virtualized systems that lack an immediate physical chassis.
- Note that many systems allow detection of the chassis type
- automatically (based on firmware information or suchlike).
- This setting (if set) shall take precedence over automatically
- detected information and is useful to override misdetected
- configuration or to manually configure the chassis type where
- automatic detection is not available.</para></listitem>
