The function
realhostname ();
converts
ip
to the corresponding host name.
This is done by resolving
ip
to a host name and then ensuring that the host name resolves
back to
ip
host
must point to a buffer of at least
hsize
bytes, and will always be written to by this function.
If the name resolution does not work both ways or if the host name is longer
than
hsize
bytes,
inet_ntoa3
is used to convert
ip
to an ASCII form.
If the string written to
host
is
hsize
bytes long,
host
will not be NUL terminated.
