Get my Mac's computer name

Question

How can I get the computer's name on a Mac? I'm talking about the same name as the one you can find in System Profiler under "Software".

Answer 1

Objective C

The name I was looking for is:

[[NSHost currentHost] localizedName]; 

It returns "Jonathan's MacBook" rather than "Jonathans-Macbook", or "jonathans-macbook.local" which just name returns.

Swift 3

For Swift >= 3 use.

if let deviceName = Host.current().localizedName {    print(deviceName) }
