- Thread-topic: Gethostname returns incomplete name
The following code snippet seems to work on intel but I get mixed results on
powerpc. Gethostname always returns noErr but sometimes the name I get back
doesn't work in gethostbyname. Result: Host is nil and h_errno is 1.
char hostnamebuf[256];
struct hostent *host;
if ((err = gethostname(hostnamebuf, sizeof(hostnamebuf))) == 0)
host = gethostbyname(hostnamebuf);
Example:
The name I get is "plechatovm2k3-0"
The name I should get is "plechatovm2k3-0.lss.corp.com". This one works when
I hard code it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
