Is there a way to obtain hostname from system call in Windows env? How

I am sure there is.

I don't know.

We don't discuss the Windows API, or any other system specific
extensions, here, because they are not part of the C language.

Ask Windows API questions in a Windows programming group such as
or one of Microsoft's many
support groups in the family.
