Overrides the core gethostbyname
and gethostbyaddr
functions with object-oriented
versions that return Net::hostent objects. The objects have methods
that return the fields of the same name from the
hostent structure in
netdb.h:
Field | Description |
---|---|
| Address of host, for backward compatibility |
| List of addresses returned from name server |
| Host address type |
| List of aliases |
| Length of address |
| Name of host |
You can access the structure fields with the methods or by
importing the fields into your namespace with the :FIELDS import tag
and accessing them by prepending h_
to the field name:
$host_obj->name( ) $h_name
