Bug#183112: libc6-dev: Missing prototypes for "new" resolver funcs from <netdb.h>

[Jose Luis Tallon <jltallon@adv-solutions.net>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.1-9
Severity: important
Tags: patch


Missing prototypes for the following "new" resolver functions from <netdb.h>
However, they are documented in the corresponding man pages.

- getipnodebyname
- getipnodebyaddr
- freehostent

solved by including this in <netdb.h>:

----------

extern "C"
{

struct hostent *getipnodebyname(const char *name,
        int af, int flags, int *error_num);

struct hostent *getipnodebyaddr(const void *addr,
        size_t len, int af, int *error_num);

void freehostent(struct hostent *ip);

}

----------

Thanks.
	J.L.
