gethostbyname和gethostbyaddr

一、gethostbyname函数原型

#include <netdb.h>

struct hostent *gethostbyname(const char *ghostname);

    返回：成功返回非空指针，出错为NULL且设置h_errno

二、hostent结构

struct hostent {
    char  *h_name;        /*  official name of host */
    char  **h_aliases;    /*  pointer to array of pointers to alias name */
    int     h_addrtype;   /*  host address type: AF_INET */
    int     h_length;     /*  length of address: 4 */
    char  **h_addr_list;  /*  ptr to array of ptrs with IPv4 addrs */
}; 

三、关于全局整体变量h_errno

　　当gethostbyname发生错误时，它不设置errno变量，而是将全局变量h_errno设置为<netdb.h>中定义的下列常值之一：

　　（1）HOST_NOT_FOUND;

　　（2）TRY_AGAIN;

　　（3）NO_RECOVERY;

　　（4）NO_DATA(等同于NO_ADDRESS)

　　NO_DATA错误表示指定的名字有效，但是它没有A记录

四、gethostbyname例子

#include    <stdio.h>
#include    <netdb.h>
#include    <stdlib.h>
#include    <sys/socket.h>
#include    <arpa/inet.h>

#define     INET_ADDRSTRLEN     16

void err_ret(const char *, ...);
void err_msg(const char *, ...);

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    char    *ptr, **pptr;
    char    str[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
    struct hostent    *hptr;

    while (--argc > ) {
        ptr = *++argv;
        if ( (hptr = gethostbyname(ptr)) == NULL) {
            err_msg("gethostbyname error for host: %s: %s",
                ptr, hstrerror(h_errno));
            continue;
        }
        printf("official hostname: %s\n", hptr->h_name);

        for (pptr = hptr->h_aliases; *pptr != NULL; pptr++) {
            printf("\talias: %s\n", *pptr);
        }

        switch (hptr->h_addrtype) {
            case AF_INET: {
                pptr = hptr->h_addr_list;
                for ( ; *pptr != NULL; pptr++) {
                    printf("\taddress: %s\n",
                        inet_ntop(hptr->h_addrtype, *pptr, str, sizeof(str)));
                }
                break;
            }
            default: {
                err_ret("unknown address type");
                break;
            }
        }
    }
    exit();

    return;

五、gethostbyaddr函数原型

#include <netdb.h>

struct hostent *gethostbyaddr(const struct in_addr *, socklen_t, int family);

    返回：成功为非空指针，否则为NULL且设置h_errno
    功能：由一个二进制IP地址找到相应的主机名
