  • Does lynx OS support gethostbyname API (from header netdb.h)

    From manikandan radhakrishnan@110:300/1.1 to All on Wed Apr 11 16:11:55 2012
    Hi,

    Can someone please advice if lynx OS provides support for
    gethostbyname API.
    I am sorry, I do not know which version of lynx OS i am using,
    but it is surely not the latest one (5.0).

    This information will be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    Manikandan.

    Uh, yes. There is probably even a man page.

    Free time? There's no such thing. It just comes in varying prices...

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for your reply.
    I am using lynx OS 3.1, it doesnt appear to be supporting the
    native gethostbyname API (the like which is given by POSIX standards).
    I have a manual of system calls supported by this version of the OS,
    and I dont see this API listed in it. So, wanted to know if maybe it
    is supported in the latest versions maybe..

    Regards,
    Manikandan
