Please look at the snippet and tell why it is not giving the
correct ip address in dotted decimal. my system is not multihomed
as ifconfig gives only one inet address for the eth0( the only
interface except lo).
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/utsname.h>
#include<malloc.h>
#include<netdb.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
int main(){
struct utsname *name;
int i;
struct hostent *hnt;
name = (struct utsname *)malloc(sizeof(struct utsname));
hnt = (struct hostent *)malloc(sizeof(struct hostent));
i= uname(name);
hnt = gethostbyname(name->nodename);
if(i>=0)
printf("Network address:\t%s\n",inet_ntoa(hnt->h_addr));
return;
}
The name->nodename gives the correct hostname.
If it is wrong how do I get the correct ip address for my
localhost.
Pardon me if something like this has been asked but I am a newbie
and I am stuck here.
Thanking you
Murgan
