Oh wow.  That's all but current.

3 years 6 months ago and it was shortly afterwards removed again as neither
a) the hostname not b) the ip addresses needed to be unique anymore with
multi-IP jails (a) not even before that).  The suggested replacement was
-n to name the jails yourself.  I think the uniqueness limit has since been
removed on that as well but the option has stayed and by default is the
jail ID these days and it's name=<..> in the modern syntax.
