I'm trying to port something which uses gethostbyname_r() to Darwin.

On FreeBSD, gethostbyname() is supposted to be thread safe (and uses per-thread storage). Is the same true for Darwin?

Strangely, I cannot seem to find the source, so I cannot check this out for myself. The Libc project mentions gethostbyname in CLIB-LIST, sys/CLIB-LIST, and a few man pages, but I can't find the source to it.

Hmm. I may have found an answer in last week's thread: The specific routines in the Libinfo project (see Libinfo/ lookup.subproj/lu_*.c) that maintain thread-specific memory for results are: <...> - gethostbyaddr gethostbyname gethostbyname2 gethostent sethostent endhostent It would be nice if this was documented in the man page..
