NAME
getnameinfo
- command-line tool to getnameinfo(3)
resolver
SYNOPSIS
getnameinfo [options...] address port
DESCRIPTION
This tool provides a convenient command-line wrapper around the getnameinfo(3)
resolver function. It will perform a single reverse lookup to convert an address and port number into its host and service names. This is mainly useful when debugging names resolution problems, because it allows inspection of the getnameinfo(3)
behaviour itself, outside of any real program that is trying to use it.
