+ <para>
+ This function is equivalent to the
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>getnameinfo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry> function defined in RFC2133.
+ <function>lwres_getnameinfo()</function> returns the
+ hostname for the
+ <type>struct sockaddr</type> <parameter>sa</parameter> which
+ is
+ <parameter>salen</parameter> bytes long. The hostname is of
+ length
+ <parameter>hostlen</parameter> and is returned via
+ <parameter>*host.</parameter> The maximum length of the
+ hostname is
+ 1025 bytes: <constant>NI_MAXHOST</constant>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para> The name of the service associated with the port number in
+ <parameter>sa</parameter> is returned in <parameter>*serv.</parameter>
+ It is <parameter>servlen</parameter> bytes long. The
+ maximum length
+ of the service name is <constant>NI_MAXSERV</constant> - 32
+ bytes.
+ </para>

+ <para>

+ <para>
+ A fully qualified domain name is not required for local hosts.

+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term><constant>NI_NAMEREQD</constant></term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ A name is required. If the hostname cannot be found in the DNS
+ and

+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Specifies that the service being looked up is a datagram
+ service, and causes getservbyport() to be called with a second
+ argument of "udp" instead of its default of "tcp". This is
+ required
+ for the few ports (512-514) that have different services for UDP
+ and
+ TCP.
