The %SS2_GETHOSTBYADDR routine is deprecated (because it is based on a deprecated Winsock function). We recommend using %SS2_GETNAMEINFO instead. |
status = %SS2_GETHOSTBYADDR(in_addr6, h_name)
Return value
status
If successful, returns SS_SUCCESS (0). If unsuccessful, returns SS_ENULL (2). See the Socket Errors table for additional information about this error. (n)
Arguments
in_addr6
Specifies an IPv4 or IPv6 address. ([#]byte)
h_name
Returned with the host name. (a)
Discussion
%SS2_GETHOSTBYADDR retrieves a host name using the host address in_addr6 as a search parameter. This function supports both IPv4 and IPv6 formatted addresses.
If SS_ENULL is returned, the system error code can be returned by immediately calling %SYSERR.
