I'm not quite familiar with the gritty details of this, so pardon the
stupidity of this. Does anybody know if there's a "standard" encoding
that's used when returning reverse DNS lookup results (eg gethostbyaddr,
OTInetAddressToName, etc.) Our returned strings contain escaped
characters for certain computer names (such as ryan's G4), and I cna't
find an encoding to pass to CFStringCreateWithCString that makes the
string look halfway normal. I've tried ASCII and MacRoman, so I'm
guessing that it's either one of the Windows Latin variants or there is
NO standard.
Thanks,
Ryan
