This is fixed in the Austin spec (http://www.opengroup.org/austin)
and so should get folded back into rfc2553bis when the two specs
are aligned.
>Section 6.2 of draft-ietf-ipngwg-rfc2553bis-03.txt has the following
>text:
>
> If the argument node is non-NULL and the argument nodelen is nonzero,
> then the argument node points to a buffer able to contain up to nodelen
> characters that will receive the node name as a null-terminated string.
> If the argument node is NULL or the argument nodelen is zero, the node
> name will not be returned. If the node's name cannot be located, the
> numeric form of the nodes address is returned instead of its name. If
> the sa argument is an IPv6 address the returned nodename may be in the
> format as defined in [5].
>
>However, the corresponding function prototype just described before
>the paragraph does not contain the arguments "node" and "nodelen":
>
> int getnameinfo(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t salen,
> char *host, socklen_t hostlen,
> char *serv, socklen_t servlen,
> int flags);
>
>I think the notation should be consistent; if we leave the function
>prototype as is, then the text should be rewritten using "host"
>instead of "node", and "hostlen" instead of "nodelen".
>
>Similarly, a succeeding paragraph has a same kind of problem:
>
> If the argument service is non-NULL and the argument servicelen is
> nonzero, then the argument service points to a buffer able to contain up
> to servicelen characters that will receive the service name as a null-
> terminated string. If the argument service is NULL or the argument
> servicelen is zero, the service name will not be returned. If the
> service name cannot be located, the numeric form of the service address
> (for example, its port number) is returned instead of its name.
>
>there are no variables "service" and "servicelen" in the prototype.
