_osl_getFullQualifiedDomainName is used during file locking.


That's probably for the name of the lockfile: If the same user runs LO
on two different machines that share (part of) the filesystem through
NFS, the lockfile should not have the same name so that the LO on one
machine does not see the lock of the LO on the other machine.

No, IIRC, that data ends up in the content of the lock file. So that (a)a meaningful message about who is currently locking a file can bepresented upon concurrent access, and (b) a stale lock file from acrashed soffice instance run by the same user can be detected.
