<p>
|

These functions perform thread safe, protocol independent

nodename-to-address and address-to-nodename
|

translation as defined in RFC2553.
|
||
</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
They use a
|

<span class="type">struct hostent</span>
|

which is defined in

<code class="filename">namedb.h</code>:

</p>

<pre class="programlisting">

char *h_name; /* official name of host */

int h_addrtype; /* host address type */
|
||
int h_length; /* length of address */
|
||
char **h_addr_list; /* list of addresses from name server */

};
