    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

    <para>
       This function is equivalent to the
      <citerefentry>
        <refentrytitle>getnameinfo</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
      </citerefentry> function defined in RFC2133.
      <function>lwres_getnameinfo()</function> returns the
      hostname for the
      <type>struct sockaddr</type> <parameter>sa</parameter> which
      is
      <parameter>salen</parameter> bytes long.  The hostname is of
      length
      <parameter>hostlen</parameter> and is returned via
      <parameter>*host.</parameter> The maximum length of the
      hostname is
      1025 bytes: <constant>NI_MAXHOST</constant>.
    </para>

    <para> The name of the service associated with the port number in
      <parameter>sa</parameter> is returned in <parameter>*serv.</parameter>
      It is <parameter>servlen</parameter> bytes long.  The
      maximum length
      of the service name is <constant>NI_MAXSERV</constant> - 32
      bytes.
    </para>

    <para>
       The <parameter>flags</parameter> argument sets the
      following
      bits:
      <variablelist>
        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>NI_NOFQDN</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              A fully qualified domain name is not required for local hosts.
              The local part of the fully qualified domain name is returned
              instead.
            </para>

        </varlistentry>
        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>NI_NUMERICHOST</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              Return the address in numeric form, as if calling inet_ntop(),
              instead of a host name.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>
        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>NI_NAMEREQD</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              A name is required. If the hostname cannot be found in the DNS
              and
              this flag is set, a non-zero error code is returned.
              If the hostname is not found and the flag is not set, the
              address is returned in numeric form.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>
        <varlistentry>
          <term><constant>NI_NUMERICSERV</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              The service name is returned as a digit string representing the
              port number.
            </para>
          </listitem>
        </varlistentry>

          <term><constant>NI_DGRAM</constant></term>
          <listitem>
            <para>
              Specifies that the service being looked up is a datagram
              service,  and causes getservbyport() to be called with a second
              argument of "udp" instead of its default of "tcp".  This is
              required
              for the few ports (512-514) that have different services for UDP
              and
              TCP.
