Comment(by vinc17):
It would be surprising the POSIX removed functions that would not have
their equivalent with the new functions. According to the
[http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getaddrinfo.html
POSIX getaddrinfo specification], it should be possible to get the FQDN by
using getaddrinfo on the nodename of the machine with the the AI_CANONNAME
flag (though I've never seen an explicit relation between the FQDN and the
canonical name of the nodename of the machine). I've searched on Google
and found a few messages that seem to confirm this, but I'm not sure.
