>DESCRIPTION</H2
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_getaddrinfo()</TT

is used to get a list of IP addresses and port numbers for host
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>hostname</I
></TT
>
and service
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>servname</I
></TT
>.
The function is the lightweight resolver's implementation of
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>getaddrinfo()</TT
>
as defined in RFC2133.
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>hostname</I
></TT
>
and
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>servname</I
></TT
>
are pointers to null-terminated
strings or
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>NULL</SPAN
>.
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>hostname</I
></TT
>
is either a host name or a numeric host address string: a dotted decimal
IPv4 address or an IPv6 address.
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>servname</I
></TT
>
is either a decimal port number or a service name as listed in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/etc/services</TT
>.</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>hints</I
></TT
>
is an optional pointer to a
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>struct addrinfo</SPAN
>.
This structure can be used to provide hints concerning the type of socket
that the caller supports or wishes to use.
The caller can supply the following structure elements in
<TT

of the specified hostname in
