The %SS_GETHOSTBYADDR routine is deprecated (because it is based on a deprecated Winsock function). We recommend using %SS_GETNAMEINFO instead. |
status = %SS_GETHOSTBYADDR(in_addr, 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_addr
Specifies an IPv4 address. (i4)
h_name
Returned with the host name. (a)
Discussion
%SS_GETHOSTBYADDR retrieves a host name using the host address in_addr as a search parameter.
If SS_ENULL is returned, the system error code can be returned by immediately calling %SYSERR.
