Here are 2 methods to get the ip address of a hostname :
The first method uses the traditional gethostbyname function to retrieve information about a hostname/domain name.
Code
1 |
#include<stdio.h> //printf |
2 |
#include<string.h> //memset |
3 |
#include<stdlib.h> //for exit(0); |
4 |
#include<sys/socket.h> |
5 |
#include<errno.h> //For errno - the error number |
6 |
#include<netdb.h> //hostent |
7 |
#include<arpa/inet.h> |

int hostname_to_ip(char * , char *);
|
10 |
11 |
int main(int argc , char *argv[])
|
12 |
{ |
13 |
if(argc <2)
|
14 |
{
|
15 |
printf("Please provide a hostname to resolve");
|
16 |
exit(1);
|
17 |
}
|
18 |
|
19 |
char *hostname = argv[1];
|
20 |
char ip[100];
|
21 |
|
22 |
hostname_to_ip(hostname , ip);
|
23 |
printf("%s resolved to %s" , hostname , ip);
|
24 |
|
25 |
printf("\n");
|
26 |
|
27 |
} |
28 |

|
50 |

|

|

}
|
53 |

|

The second method uses the getaddrinfo function to retrieve information about a hostname/domain name.
