I use hostname
for checking:
aircrafts-MacBook-Pro:~ ldl$ hostname
aircrafts-MacBook-Pro.local
there shows aircrafts-MacBook-Pro.local
.
I want to know the difference between aircrafts-MacBook-Pro:~ ldl$
's aircrafts-MacBook-Pro
and aircrafts-MacBook-Pro.local
.

The hostname given by the "hostname" command is the fully qualified hostname (i.e. the full hostname including domains, etc.).
The one displayed in the prompt is shown because your /etc/bashrc file contains the following prompt definition for bash (your shell):
The first part of the prompt specification "\h" means that the hostname should be displayed in the prompt - but only the hostname up to the first . (dot).
That's why you see two different things.
