Note that gethostbyname() only resolves AF_INET addresses, i. e. IPv4, ltrace (on SuSE Linux 9.2) reveals that gethostbyname returns NULL. This is correct behavior. POSIX:
: The gethostbyname() function shall return an entry containing addresses : of address family AF_INET for the host with name name. The gethostby- : name() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required : to be reentrant is not required to be thread-safe. <http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/gethostbyname.html> The glibc manual page is bogus and doesn't match the info file or actual behavior and needs to be fixed. Please file a bug report against glibc. -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
