NAME

       getnodebyaddr - DECnet node entry retrieval by address

SYNOPSIS

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

       struct nodeent *getnodebyaddr (char *addr, short len, const int family)

DESCRIPTION

       getnodebyaddr  searches  the  decnet  hosts file for the DECnet node with address equal to
       addr of len bytes, belonging to  protocol  family  family  (PF_DECnet)  and  returns  node
       information into the nodeent 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 nodeent       *dp;

           binaddr->a_len = 2;
           binaddr->a_addr[0] = 0x02;
           binaddr->a_addr[1] = 0x04;

           if ( (dp=getnodebyaddr(binaddr->a_addr,binaddr->len, PF_DECnet)) == NULL)
               printf("Error, cannot find node entry");
           else
               printf("Node name is %s",dp->n_name);
       }
