I have written a small C program to check the gethostbyname

Romildo
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>
int main(void)
{
struct hostent * h;
h = gethostbyname("www.redhat.com");
herror("ERROR FOUND: ");
printf("name = %s\n", h->h_name);
printf("addrtype = %i\n", h->h_addrtype);
printf("length = %i\n", h->h_length);
printf("addr = %s\n", h->h_addr_list[0]);
return 0;
}
