+.SH DESCRIPTION
+These functions are deprecated (and unavailable in glibc).
+Use
+.BR getaddrinfo (3)
+and
+.BR getnameinfo (3)
+instead.
+.P
+The
+.BR getipnodebyname ()
+and
+.BR getipnodebyaddr ()
+functions return the names and addresses of a network host.
+These functions return a pointer to the
+following structure:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct hostent {
+    char  *h_name;
+    char **h_aliases;
+    int    h_addrtype;
+    int    h_length;
+    char **h_addr_list;
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.P
+These functions replace the
+.BR gethostbyname (3)
+and
+.BR gethostbyaddr (3)
+functions, which could access only the IPv4 network address family.
+The
+.BR getipnodebyname ()
+and
+.BR getipnodebyaddr ()
+functions can access multiple network address families.
+.P
+Unlike the
+.B gethostby
+functions,
+these functions return pointers to dynamically allocated memory.
+The
+.BR freehostent ()
+function is used to release the dynamically allocated memory
+after the caller no longer needs the
+.I hostent
+structure.
+.SS getipnodebyname() arguments
+The
+.BR getipnodebyname ()
+function
+looks up network addresses for the host
+specified by the
+.I name
+argument.
+The
+.I af
+argument specifies one of the following values:
+.TP
+.B AF_INET
+The
+.I name
+argument points to a dotted-quad IPv4 address or a name
+of an IPv4 network host.
+.TP
+.B AF_INET6
+The
+.I name
+argument points to a hexadecimal IPv6 address or a name
+of an IPv6 network host.
+.P
+The
+.I flags
+argument specifies additional options.
+More than one option can be specified by bitwise OR-ing
+them together.
+.I flags
+should be set to 0
+if no options are desired.
+.TP
+.B AI_V4MAPPED
+This flag is used with
+.B AF_INET6
+to request a query for IPv4 addresses instead of
+IPv6 addresses; the IPv4 addresses will
+be mapped to IPv6 addresses.
+.TP
+.B AI_ALL
+This flag is used with
+.B AI_V4MAPPED
+to request a query for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
+Any IPv4 address found will be mapped to an IPv6 address.
+.TP
+.B AI_ADDRCONFIG
+This flag is used with
+.B AF_INET6
+to
+further request that queries for IPv6 addresses should not be made unless
+the system has at least one IPv6 address assigned to a network interface,
+and that queries for IPv4 addresses should not be made unless the
+system has at least one IPv4 address assigned to a network interface.
+This flag may be used by itself or with the
+.B AI_V4MAPPED
+flag.
+.TP
+.B AI_DEFAULT
+This flag is equivalent to
+.BR "(AI_ADDRCONFIG | AI_V4MAPPED)" .
+.SS getipnodebyaddr() arguments
+The
+.BR getipnodebyaddr ()
+function
+looks up the name of the host whose
+network address is
+specified by the
+.I addr
+argument.
+The
+.I af
+argument specifies one of the following values:
+.TP
+.B AF_INET
+The
+.I addr
+argument points to a
+.I struct in_addr
+and
+.I len
+must be set to
+.IR "sizeof(struct in_addr)" .
+.TP
+.B AF_INET6
+The
+.I addr
+argument points to a
+.I struct in6_addr
+and
+.I len
+must be set to
+.IR "sizeof(struct in6_addr)" .
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+NULL is returned if an error occurred, and
+.I error_num
+will contain an error code from the following list:
+.TP
+.B HOST_NOT_FOUND
+The hostname or network address was not found.
+.TP
+.B NO_ADDRESS
+The domain name server recognized the network address or name,
+but no answer was returned.
+This can happen if the network host has only IPv4 addresses and
+a request has been made for IPv6 information only, or vice versa.
+.TP
+.B NO_RECOVERY
+The domain name server returned a permanent failure response.
+.TP
+.B TRY_AGAIN
+The domain name server returned a temporary failure response.
+You might have better luck next time.
+.P
+A successful query returns a pointer to a
+.I hostent
+structure that contains the following fields:
+.TP
+.I h_name
+This is the official name of this network host.
+.TP
+.I h_aliases
+This is an array of pointers to unofficial aliases for the same host.
+The array is terminated by a null pointer.
+.TP
+.I h_addrtype
+This is a copy of the
+.I af
+argument to
+.BR getipnodebyname ()
+or
+.BR getipnodebyaddr ().
+.I h_addrtype
+will always be
+.B AF_INET
+if the
+.I af
+argument was
+.BR AF_INET .
+.I h_addrtype
+will always be
+.B AF_INET6
+if the
+.I af
+argument was
+.BR AF_INET6 .
+.TP
+.I h_length
+This field will be set to
+.I sizeof(struct in_addr)
+if
+.I h_addrtype
+is
+.BR AF_INET ,
+and to
+.I sizeof(struct in6_addr)
+if
+.I h_addrtype
+is
+.BR AF_INET6 .
+.TP
+.I h_addr_list
+This is an array of one or more pointers to network address structures for the
+network host.
+The array is terminated by a null pointer.
+.SH STANDARDS
+None.
+.SH HISTORY
+.\" Not in POSIX.1-2001.
+RFC\ 2553.
+.P
+Present in glibc 2.1.91-95, but removed again.
+Several UNIX-like systems support them, but all
+call them deprecated.
