Special Forums IP Networking gethostbyname_r returns NULL when hostname has dash Post 302197944 by era on Thursday 22nd of May 2008 02:22:45 AM

What does h_errno say when you get the failure? The man page seems to suggest to use getnameinfo() instead, have you tried that? My version of gethostbyname_r returns an int, do you have a different implementation?
