.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
The function
|
|
|
|
|
.Fn realhostname
|
|
|
|
|
converts
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar ip
|
2004-07-02 23:52:20 +00:00
|
|
|
to the corresponding host name.
|
|
|
|
|
This is done by resolving
|
1999-04-06 23:02:35 +00:00
|
|
|
.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
|
2005-02-13 22:25:33 +00:00
|
|
|
If the name resolution does not work both ways or if the host name is longer
|
1999-04-06 23:02:35 +00:00
|
|
|
than
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar hsize
|
|
|
|
|
bytes,
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr inet_ntoa 3
|
|
|
|
|
is used to convert
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar ip
|
1999-09-20 09:15:23 +00:00
|
|
|
to an ASCII form.
|
1999-04-06 23:02:35 +00:00
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
If the string written to
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar hsize
|
|
|
|
|
bytes long,
|
|
|
|
|
.Ar host
|
|
|
|
|
will not be NUL terminated.
