8.4 The xhostent Structure

The xhostent structure is defined in the /usr/include/netx25/xnetdb.h file. It has this format: 

 struct   xhostent {
           char *h_name;
           char **h_aliases;
           int  h_addrtype;
           int  h_length;
           char *h_addr;
      };

The xhostent structure contains a single entry from the xhosts file. This contains information mapping host names to X.25 addresses and is used when making PAD calls. By default this file is in the /etc/SUNWconn/x25 directory.

The members of the structure are:
