Dear coders

i have googleized but nothing.

i try to find examples or any information in order to get the same gethostbyname() function on FPC compiled on Linux systems.

Best regards

Please take a look at: ./fpc/packages/fcl-net/src/cnetdb.pp it's there :)

cnetdb.pp

Not teaching you how to suck eggs, but I run up against this issue of finding fpc examples quite often. The best solution I have found is to keep a copy of the fpc source tree on my hard disk and grep for the function I want to use. More often than not someone has already used it somewhere in that pile of code.

brad at bklaptop2:/tracks/devel/fpc/fpc-src$ grep -ir gethostbyname *

<snip lots of output>

packages/libndsfpc/examples/dswifi/main9.pp:  // Find the IP address of the server, with gethostbyname
packages/libndsfpc/examples/dswifi/main9.pp:  myhost := gethostbyname('www.akkit.org');
