gethostbyaddr and netdb implementation file


Where is gethostbyaddr and netdb.h functions implemented? I can only find the header file where it is extern'ed (netdb.h)

Thanks


Solution

  • It is implemented in glibc.

    BTW, use getnameinfo() and getaddrinfo(). gethostbyaddr() is obsolete, mostly because of IPv6.
