Error in the example of getaddrinfo

Hi,

I believe there is a bug in de client example code of getaddrinfo.  It
is in the ubuntu 10.10 man pages (Version: 3.24-1ubuntu1) and also on
http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.html.
The 'close(sfd);' will never happen and using the code in a loop, it
will cause your system running out of filedescriptors (at least,
that's what happened to me).  To use the code cleanly, you should code
the sfd after the last printf.

Kind regards,

wimpunk.
