+
+
+ <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">
+struct hostent {
+ char *h_name; /* official name of host */
+ char **h_aliases; /* alias list */
+ int h_addrtype; /* host address type */
+ int h_length; /* length of address */
+ char **h_addr_list; /* list of addresses from name server */
+};
+#define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* address, for backward compatibility */
+</pre>
+<p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ The members of this structure are:
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
