WARNINGS

Obsolescent Interfaces

The following interfaces are included to support existing applications and may be removed in future

releases.

struct hostent *getipnodebyname(const char *name,

int af,

int flags,

int *error_num);

int getipnodebyaddr(const void *src,

size_t len,

int af,

int *error_num);

New applications must use the APIs getaddrinfo()

and getnameinfo()

for name/address resolu-

tion.

Obsolescent Directive

The

ipnodes directive, which is used by the getaddrinfo()

and getnameinfo() APIs, may not

be supported in future HP-UX releases. In order to minimize the impact to applications, it is recommended

that you have the same conﬁguration for the

hosts and the ipnodes directives.
