Subject: [PATCH v2] extend gethostid beyond a stub

From: Érico Rolim <erico.erc@...il.com>

Implement part of the glibc behavior, where the 32-bit identifier stored
in /etc/hostid, if the file exists, is returned. If this file doesn't
contain at least 32 bits or can't be opened for some reason, return 0.

I have changed it to directly read the file into a variable. Given that
the return type is long, should I still use int32_t inside the function?
