From a C program, I need to find out the unique host identifier 
of the VAX system that VMS is running on.  On Unix I would use
the gethostid() function, but I am not having luck finding a similar
function on VAX/VMS.  Does anyone know what the equivalent VAX/VMS
function is?

On Unix I can issue the hostid command which will print out the
unique host identifier, what is the equivalent on VMS?
