- tcp_host_to_address(?HostName, ?Address) is det
- Translate between a machines host-name and it's (IP-)address. If
HostName is an atom, it is resolved using
getaddrinfo() and the
IP-number is unified to Address using a term of the format
ip(Byte1,Byte2,Byte3,Byte4). Otherwise, if Address is bound to an
ip(Byte1,Byte2,Byte3,Byte4) term, it is resolved by gethostbyaddr()
and the canonical hostname is unified with HostName.
- deprecated
- - New code should use host_address/3. This version is
bootstrapped from host_address/3 and only searches for IP4 addresses
that support TCP connections.
