int type
);


Parameters

addr

[in] A pointer to an address in network byte order.

len

[in] The length of the address.

type

[in] The type of the address.



Remarks

gethostbyaddr returns a pointer to the following hostent structure which contains the name(s) and address which correspond to the given address. All strings are null terminated.

Return Values

If no error occurs, gethostbyaddr returns a pointer to the hostent structure described above. Otherwise, it returns a NULL pointer and a specific error number can be retrieved by calling WSAGetLastError.

авторThis structure is allocated by Windows Sockets. An application should never attempt to modify this structure or to free any of its components. Furthermore, only one copy of this structure is allocated per thread, and so the application should copy any information that it needs before issuing any other Windows Sockets API calls.

Members

h_name

Official name of the host (PC).If using the DNS or similar resolution system, it is the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) that caused the server to return a reply. If using a local "hosts" file, it is the first entry after the IP address.

h_aliases

A NULL-terminated array of alternate names.

h_addrtype

The type of address being returned.

h_length

The length, in bytes, of each address.

h_addr_list

A NULL-terminated list of addresses for the host. Addresses are returned in network byte order.The macro h_addr is defined to be h_addr_list[0] for compatibility with older software.
