gethostbyaddr problem solved!!

[PRAKASH GOWRI <prakash_gs@xxxxxxxxx>]

the way to use gethostbyaddr. Try:

hi everybody,
              binand solved  my  problem  about the
gethostbyaddr system call.

and  here it is  (if it can help anybody else):-


this is  the wrong  way to do it:-

hptr=gethostbyaddr("127.0.0.1",4,AF_INET);


this is the  right way:-

struct hostent *host;
struct in_addr addr;
inet_aton ("127.0.0.1", &addr);
host = gethostbyaddr ((char *) &addr, sizeof addr,
AF_INET);
if (host == NULL) {
   /* Continue */
}

The call to inet_aton is necessary to handle the
endianness 
conversions.

ciao
