54.Os
55.Sh NAME
56.Nm realhostname_sa
57.Nd "convert a"
58.Vt "struct sockaddr"
59to the real host name
60.Sh LIBRARY
61.Lb libutil
62.Sh SYNOPSIS
63.In sys/types.h
64.In netinet/in.h
65.In libutil.h
66.Ft int
67.Fn realhostname_sa "char *host" "size_t hsize" "struct sockaddr *addr" "int addrlen"
68.Sh DESCRIPTION
69The function
70.Fn realhostname_sa
71converts
72.Ar addr
73to the corresponding host name.
74This is done by resolving
75.Ar addr
76to a host name and then ensuring that the host name resolves
77back to
78.Ar addr .
79.Pp
80.Ar host
81must point to a buffer of at least
82.Ar hsize
83bytes, and will always be written to by this function.
84.Pp
85If the name resolution does not work both ways or if the host name is longer
86than
87.Ar hsize
88bytes,
89.Xr getnameinfo 3
90with NI_NUMERICHOST specified, is used to convert
91.Ar addr
92to an ASCII form.
93.Pp
94If the string written to
95.Ar host
96is
97.Ar hsize
98bytes long,
99.Ar host
100will not be NUL terminated.
101.Sh RETURN VALUES
102The
103.Fn realhostname_sa
104function will return one of the following constants which are defined in
105.In libutil.h :
106.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
107.It Li HOSTNAME_FOUND
108A valid host name was found.
109.It Li HOSTNAME_INCORRECTNAME
110A host name was found, but it did not resolve back to the passed
111.Ar ip .
112.Ar host
113now contains the numeric value of
114.Ar ip .
115.It Li HOSTNAME_INVALIDADDR
116.Ar ip
117could not be resolved.
118.Ar host
119now contains the numeric value of
120.Ar ip .
121.It Li HOSTNAME_INVALIDNAME
122A host name was found, but it could not be resolved back to any ip number.
123.Ar host
124now contains the numeric value of
125.Ar ip .
