NAME

7       related) functions

SYNOPSIS

10          gethost [options] name
11

DESCRIPTION

13       This utility is a command-line wrapper around the val_gethostbyname()
14       (and related) functions.  It invokes the val_gethostbyname(), val_geth‐
15       ostbyname_r() and val_gethostbyname2() functions for the given command-
16       line arguments and displays the returned hostent, the validation status
17       value, and the value of the h_errno variable.
18
19       The exit status for this program is 1 if the answer received is
20       trusted, 2 if the answer received is validated, and -1 for an error.
21       The trusted and validated status values are obtained using the
22       val_istrusted() and val_isvalidated() functions from libval(3).
