Hi All I am trying to find the gethostbyname() equivalent function in kernel space. Does any one know that. The reason is... I am using UDP to transfer data from one machine to another. It is not one time transfer. Once I get a message from machine A; I need to send some message back to Machine A from Machine B. For that I was using the following lines in user space program. I need to do the same in kernel space. Could any one help me out in this.
struct hostent *data; struct sockaddr_in server; int sock;
sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM , 0)
/* binding and all are done here */
data = gethostbyname("158.168.1.1"); memcpy (&server.sin_addrs, data->h_addr, data->h_length); retval = sendto(sock,msg,sizeof(msg), 0, (struct sockaddr *) &server, sizeof server);
Thanking You Shesha
