.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The
\fBne_addr_resolve\fR
function resolves the given
\fIhostname\fR, returning an
\fBne_sock_addr\fR
object representing the address (or addresses) associated with the hostname\&. The
\fIflags\fR
parameter is currently unused, and must be passed as 0\&.
.PP
The
\fIhostname\fR
passed to
\fBne_addr_resolve\fR
can be a DNS hostname (e\&.g\&.
"www\&.example\&.com") or an IPv4 dotted quad (e\&.g\&.
"192\&.0\&.34\&.72"); or, on systems which support IPv6, an IPv6 hex address, which may be enclosed in brackets, e\&.g\&.
"[::1]"\&.
.PP
To determine whether the hostname was successfully resolved, the
\fBne_addr_result\fR
function is used, which returns non\-zero if an error occurred\&. If an error did occur, the
\fBne_addr_error\fR
function can be used, which will copy the error string into a given
\fIbuffer\fR
(of size
\fIbufsiz\fR)\&.
.PP
The functions
\fBne_addr_first\fR
and
\fBne_addr_next\fR
are used to retrieve the Internet addresses associated with an address object which has been successfully resolved\&.
\fBne_addr_first\fR
returns the first address;
\fBne_addr_next\fR
returns the next address after the most recent call to
\fBne_addr_next\fR
or
\fBne_addr_first\fR, or
NULL
if there are no more addresses\&. The
\fBne_inet_addr\fR
pointer returned by these functions can be passed to
\fBne_sock_connect\fR
to connect a socket\&.
.PP
After the address object has been used, it should be destroyed using
\fBne_addr_destroy\fR\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
\fBne_addr_resolve\fR
returns a pointer to an address object, and never
NULL\&.
\fBne_addr_error\fR
returns the
\fIbuffer\fR
parameter \&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
The code below prints out the set of addresses associated with the hostname
www\&.google\&.com\&.
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
ne_sock_addr *addr;
char buf[256];

addr = ne_addr_resolve("www\&.google\&.com", 0);
if (ne_addr_result(addr)) {
    printf("Could not resolve www\&.google\&.com: %s\en",
           ne_addr_error(addr, buf, sizeof buf));
} else {
    const ne_inet_addr *ia;
    printf("www\&.google\&.com:");
    for (ia = ne_addr_first(addr); ia != NULL; ia = ne_addr_next(addr)) {
        printf(" %s", ne_iaddr_print(ia, buf, sizeof buf));
    }
