Question: in the clnt_addr_t typedef:
typedef struct {
char **hostname;
struct sockaddr_in saddr;
struct pmap pmap;
} clnt_addr_t;
Why isn't saddr a struct sockaddr instead of a struct sockaddr_in?
It seems at the beginning of each routine saddr is always being
typecast into a struct sockaddr pointer.... So wouldn't be easier
and cleaner to simply make sadd a struct sockaddr or am I missing
something?
