2
the given <code class="parameter">hostname</code>, returning an
3
<em class="type">ne_sock_addr</em> object representing the address (or
4
addresses) associated with the hostname. The
5
<code class="parameter">flags</code> parameter is currently unused, and
6
must be passed as 0.</p><p>The <code class="parameter">hostname</code> passed to
7
<code class="function">ne_addr_resolve</code> can be a DNS hostname
8
(e.g. <code class="literal">"www.example.com"</code>) or an IPv4 dotted quad
9
(e.g. <code class="literal">"192.0.34.72"</code>); or, on systems which
10
support IPv6, an IPv6 hex address, which may be enclosed in
11
brackets, e.g. <code class="literal">"[::1]"</code>.</p><p>To determine whether the hostname was successfully resolved,
12
the <code class="function">ne_addr_result</code> function is used, which
13
returns non-zero if an error occurred. If an error did occur, the
14
<code class="function">ne_addr_error</code> function can be used, which
15
will copy the error string into a given
16
<code class="parameter">buffer</code> (of size
17
<code class="parameter">bufsiz</code>).</p><p>The functions <code class="function">ne_addr_first</code> and
18
<code class="function">ne_addr_next</code> are used to retrieve the
19
Internet addresses associated with an address object which has
20
been successfully resolved. <code class="function">ne_addr_first</code>
21
returns the first address; <code class="function">ne_addr_next</code>
22
returns the next address after the most recent call to
23
<code class="function">ne_addr_next</code> or
24
<code class="function">ne_addr_first</code>, or <code class="literal">NULL</code> if there are no more
25
addresses. The <em class="type">ne_inet_addr</em> pointer returned by
26
these functions can be passed to
27
<code class="function">ne_sock_connect</code> to connect a socket.</p><p>After the address object has been used, it should be
28
destroyed using <code class="function">ne_addr_destroy</code>.</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2875978"></a><h2>Return value</h2><p><code class="function">ne_addr_resolve</code> returns a pointer to an
29
address object, and never <code class="literal">NULL</code>.
30
<code class="function">ne_addr_error</code> returns the
31
<code class="parameter">buffer</code> parameter .</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="id2876013"></a><h2>Examples</h2><p>The code below prints out the set of addresses associated
