getaddrinfo/ipv6

[Peter Zelezny <zed@linux.com>]

Hi,

Anyone know a little about getaddrinfo or the new ipv6 API? I've noticed
that when you compile xchat with ipv6 is does a reverse lookup aswell as a
forward lookup. This is not good, because it takes longer. What I'm looking
for is the equivilant of hostent->h_name (gethostbyname) for getaddrinfo.

Currently it's using AI_CANONNAME and ->ai_cannonname, but as I said, it
returns the reverse lookup instead of the "offical name of the host". Is
there an equivilant of h_name using getaddrinfo()?
