<title>Methods and Properties</title>
<para><function>SetHostname()</function> sets the transient (dynamic) hostname which is exposed by the
<varname>Hostname</varname> property. If empty, the transient hostname is set to the static hostname.
</para>
<para><function>SetStaticHostname()</function> sets the static hostname which is exposed by the
<varname>StaticHostname</varname> property. If empty, the built-in default of
<literal>&FALLBACK_HOSTNAME;</literal> is used.</para>
<para><function>SetPrettyHostname()</function> sets the pretty hostname which is exposed by the
<varname>PrettyHostname</varname> property.</para>
<para><function>SetIconName()</function>, <function>SetChassis()</function>,
<function>SetDeployment()</function>, and <function>SetLocation()</function> set the properties
<varname>IconName</varname> (the name of the icon representing for the machine),
<varname>Chassis</varname> (the machine form factor), <varname>Deployment</varname> (the system
deployment environment), and <varname>Location</varname> (physical system location), respectively.
</para>
<para><varname>PrettyHostname</varname>, <varname>IconName</varname>, <varname>Chassis</varname>,
<varname>Deployment</varname>, and <varname>Location</varname> are stored in
<filename>/etc/machine-info</filename>. See
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>machine-info</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
the semantics of those settings.</para>
<para><function>GetProductUUID()</function> returns the "product uuid" as exposed by the kernel based
on DMI information in <filename>/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid</filename>. Reading the file directly
requires root privileges, and this method allows access to unprivileged clients through the PolicyKit
framework.</para>
<para><varname>KernelName</varname>, <varname>KernelRelease</varname>, and
<varname>KernelVersion</varname> expose the kernel name (e.g. <literal>Linux</literal>), release
(e.g. <literal>5.0.0-11</literal>, and version (i.e. the build number, e.g. <literal>#11</literal>) as
reported by
<citerefentry project="man-pages"><refentrytitle>uname</refentrytitle><manvolnum>2</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
<varname>OperatingSystemPrettyName</varname>, <varname>OperatingSystemCPEName</varname>, and
<varname>HomeURL</varname> expose the <varname>PRETTY_NAME=</varname>, <varname>CPE_NAME=</varname> and
<varname>HOME_URL=</varname> fields from
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>os-release</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>. The
purpose of those properties is to allow remote clients to access this information over D-Bus. Local
clients can access the information directly.</para>
