struct hostent *gethostbyname(const char *name)
Works as its standard equivalent, but with NetBIOS
names.
If DNS lookup was specified for native mode at compile
time, and there is a name conflict, NetBIOS name will be used
first.
Samba uses its own resolution scheme, which is called by
the library in Samba mode.
name is the NetBIOS name of the machine to seek in ASCIIZ.
On error, or if the host doesn't exist, 0 is returned.
The error() function can be used.
Otherwise, the hostent structure
is managed by the library, so you should not try to delete it.
