ipaddr-to-hostname

$Revision: 5.0.2.3 $

Function

Package: ACL-SOCKET

Arguments: (ipaddr &key ignore-cache)

Return, as a string, the hostname of the machine with the given 32-bit IP address, ipaddr.

The ignore-cache argument is new in 5.0.1. If specified true, then the lookup will be done by querying the operating system ipaddr lookup libraries rather than using a value that Lisp has cached. The result of the lookup is still cached, however.

See socket.htm for general information on sockets.

The general documentation description is in introduction.htm. The index in index.htm.
