Re: oninit fails using onsoctcp on linux
Hi Neil.
Try the following program, does it work fine with files dns in
/etc/nsswitch.conf ?
cat gethostbyname.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
main(int argc, const char **argv)
{
ulong_t addr;
struct hostent *hp;
char **p;
if (argc != 2) {
(void) printf("usage: %s hostname\\n", argv[0]);
exit (1);
}
hp = gethostbyname(argv[1]);
if (hp == NULL) {
(void) printf("host information for %s not found\\n", argv[1]);
exit (3);
}
for (p = hp->h_addr_list; *p != 0; p++) {
struct in_addr in;
char **q;
(void) memcpy(&in.s_addr, *p, sizeof (in.s_addr));
(void) printf("%s\\t%s", inet_ntoa(in), hp->h_name);
for (q = hp->h_aliases; *q != 0; q++)
(void) printf(" %s", *q);
(void) putchar('\\n');
}
}
cc gethostbyname.c -o gethostbyname -lnsl
Here is my result.
