NAME

       dnet_addr - DECnet nodename to address translation

SYNOPSIS

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>

       struct dn_naddr *dnet_addr (char *nodename)

DESCRIPTION

       dnet_addr  search the decnet hosts file for nodename and returns the DECnet address in the
       dn_naddr structure
       If no entry is found, returns NULL

EXAMPLE

       #include <netdnet/dn.h>
       #include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
       #include <sys/socket.h>

       main(void)
       {
           struct dn_naddr      *binaddr;
           struct sockaddr_dn        sockaddr;
           int                  sockfd;

           if ( (binaddr=dnet_addr("mv3100")) == NULL)
           {
               printf("No entry in /etc/decnet.conf for mv3100\n");
               exit(0);
            }
            if ((sockfd=socket(AF_DECnet,SOCK_SEQPACKET,DNPROTO_NSP)) == -1)
            {
                 perror("socket");
                 exit(-1);
            }

            sockaddr.sdn_family      = AF_DECnet;
            sockaddr.sdn_flags       = 0x00;
            sockaddr.sdn_objnum = 0x19;             /* MIRROR */
            sockaddr.sdn_objnamel    = 0x00;
            memcpy(sockaddr.sdn_add.a_addr, binaddr->a_addr,binaddr->a_len);

            if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&sockaddr,
                 sizeof(sockaddr)) < 0)
            {
                 perror("connect");
                 exit(-1);
            }
            close(sockfd);
       }
