Hello
Where on this page it talks about obsolete herror() and hstrerror(),
could it highlight the functions that should be used instead. I am not
sure what is the replacement, but pehaps it would return
HOST_NOT_FOUND as a string?
http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/gethostbyname.3.html
With best regards, Jon
