NAME

gethost - command-line test program for the val_gethostbyname() (and related) functions

SYNOPSIS

    gethost [options] name

DESCRIPTION

This utility is a command-line wrapper around the val_gethostbyname() (and related) functions. It invokes the val_gethostbyname(), val_gethostbyname_r() and val_gethostbyname2() functions for the given command-line arguments and displays the returned hostent, the validation status value, and the value of the h_errno variable.

The exit status for this program is 1 if the answer received is trusted, 2 if the answer received is validated, and -1 for an error. The trusted and validated status values are obtained using the val_istrusted() and val_isvalidated() functions from libval(3).

-r, --reentrant
Use the re-entrant query interface.
-f, --family=[AF_INET|AF_INET6]
