[comp.unix.questions] BSD gethostby[addr, name] functions

gaspar@stl-04sima.army.mil (Al Gaspar) (09/26/89)

Is the source for the gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr functions available
anywhere on the net by ftp?  If so, is it under the Berkeley "as is"
software agreement (can it be used, modified, or redistributed as long
as due credit is given to the University) or is it proprietary?

Thanks--

Al

Yes, and YES.  Gethostby* routines are it's part of the BIND package.
FTP'able from ucbarpa.berkeley.edu

They are also part of the BSD Network distribution.
