[New-bugs-announce] [issue40635] Documentation for socket.getfqdn incorrect?

[Chris Herdt]

New submission from Chris Herdt <cherdt at gmail.com>:

The documentation for socket.getfqdn() includes this info:

"In case no fully qualified domain name is available, the hostname as returned by gethostname() is returned."

However, that does not appear to be correct. To reproduce a case that exhibits contrary behavior:

>>> import socket
>>> socket.getfqdn("test")
'test'
>>> socket.gethostname()
'centos7minimal.osric.net'
