Sets the NAME, DOMAIN, ADDR4, and ADDR6
properties in the current project.
The NAME contains the host part of the canonical name of the host.
If the host is
not found, the host will contain the name as provided to the task, or localhost if no
host was provided, and no name for the local host was found.
The DOMAIN contains
the domain part of the canonical name of the host.
If the host is not found, the domain will
contain the domain as provided to the task, or localdomain if no host / domain was
provided.
The ADDR4 contains the IPv4 address of the host with the widest
meaning.
If no IPv4 address is found and a host has been provided the
address 0.0.0.0 is returned, when no host was provided the
address 127.0.0.1 is returned.
The ADDR6 contains the IPv6 address of
the host with the widest meaning.
If no IPv6 address is found and a host has been provided the
address :: is returned, when no host was provided the address ::1 is
returned.
These properties can be used in the build-file, for instance, to create host-stamped filenames, or used to replace placeholder tags inside documents to indicate, for example, the host where the build was performed on. The best place for this task is probably in an initialization target.

Set the properties remotehost.NAME
