Hi Michael,
Did you leave gethostbyaddr(3) untouched on purpose? I guess not :)
Cheers,
Alex

I do not recall. But perhaps it was deliberate. Because, if
the arg list of gethostbyaddr() is indented as the functions
below, then it looks a bit weird. since the continued arg
list is almost at the same indent as the function name.
I'm going to call this a tasteful exception to the rule :-).
Cheers,
Michael
