|
.Nd "convert an IP number to the real host name"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <netinet/in.h>
|
|
.Fd #include <libutil.h>
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn realhostname "char *host" "size_t hsize" "const struct in_addr *ip"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Link with
|
|
.Va -lutil
|
|
on the
|
|
.Xr cc 1
|
|
command line.
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn realhostname
|
|
converts
|
|
.Ar ip
|
|
to the corresponding host name. This is done by resolving
|
|
.Ar ip
|
|
to a host name and then ensuring that the host name resolves
|
|
back to
|
|
.Ar ip .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
must point to a buffer of at least
|
|
.Ar hsize
|
|
bytes, and will always be written to by this function.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the name resolution doesn't work both ways or if the host name is longer
|
|
than
|
|
.Ar hsize
|
|
bytes,
|
|
.Xr inet_ntoa 3
|
|
is used to convert
|
|
.Ar ip
|
|
to an ascii form.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the string written to
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
is
|
|
.Ar hsize
|
|
bytes long,
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
will not be NUL terminated.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
.Fn realhostname
|
|
will return one of the following constants which are defined in
|
|
.Pa libutil.h :
|
|

|
.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
|
|
.It Li HOSTNAME_FOUND
|
|
A valid host name was found.
|
|
.It Li HOSTNAME_INCORRECTNAME
|
|
A host name was found, but it did not resolve back to the passed
|
|
.Ar ip .
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
now contains the numeric value of
|
|
.Ar ip .
|
|
.It Li HOSTNAME_INVALIDADDR
|
|
.Ar ip
|
|
could not be resolved.
|
