wsl hostname -i or -I #1834

Closed byroniac closed 10 months ago

Documentation Issue

It says "hostname -i" here but should it be "hostname -I" instead? The example seems to be correct. But the paragraph mentions "hostname -i" which is different, and I think this is incorrect?

Just noticed this issue myself and found https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/1818 which seems to be related, as well as confirms that wsl hostname -i (lowercase "i") is incorrect while wsl hostname -I (uppercase "i") is correct.

The docs need correction.
