Dear fellow members,

I am about to migrate IU-syslogd into supporting IPv6.
With that aim in view I need to know whether I may discard
gethostbyaddr(3) completely in favour of getnameinfo(3)
in all cases, i.e., also when "!HAVE_IPV6"?

Likewise for gethostbyname(3) versus getaddrinfo(3).
The change would streamline the code better.

In other words, are there any systems at whom GNU Inetutils
is targeted, and which still lack access to getnameinfo(3)
and getaddrinfo(3)?


Best regards,
  Mats
