getnameinfo test program

Comment 2 Jakub Jelinek 2007-08-14 07:33:49 UTC
User error.  You should pass a->ai_addrlen as second argument to getnameinfo,
sizeof (*a->ai_addr) is big enough for IPv4, but not for IPv6.
On Linux
sizeof (struct sockaddr) == sizeof (struct sockaddr_in) == 16,
but sizeof (struct sockaddr_in6) == 28 and some other struct sockaddr_* are
even bigger.
