lltgethostbyname (3N)

NAME

lltgethostbyname - get LLT host entry

SYNOPSIS

cc [file...] file... -llltdb [library...]

#include sys/llt.h
struct llt_host_ent *lltgethostbyname(char * name);

DESCRIPTION

This function obtains entries describing LLT hosts from the /etc/llthosts file.

lltgethostbyname() searches for information for an LLT host with the name specified by the character string parameter name, and returns the corresponding host’s entry.

NOTES

LLT host entries are represented by the struct llt_hostent_t structure defined in sys/llt.h:

typedef struct {
char *h_name; l*name of host*/
int h_length; l*length of address*/
char *h_addr; l*LLT systemid*/
} llt_hostent_t;

lltgethostbyname() returns a pointer to a struct llt_hostent_t if it successfully locates the requested entry; otherwise, it returns NULL.
