=struct hostent=
Internally the sysmodule uses the standard hostent struct, but using s16 for h_addrtype and h_length:
struct hostent {
char*  h_name;
char** h_aliases;
s16    h_addrtype;
s16    h_length;
char** h_addr_list;
};
However, the struct returned is different from the internal one:
struct hostent_3ds_t {
s16          h_addrtype;    //< Host address type
s16          h_length;      //< Length of address. Maximum of 16 for IPV6
s16          h_addr_count;  //< Number of addresses returned. Maximum of 24
s16          h_alias_count; //< Number of aliases returned. Maximum of 24
char[256]    h_name;        //< Official name of host
char[256][24] h_aliases;    //< Alias list
char[16][24]  h_addr_list;  //< List of addresses from name server
};
Its size is of 0x1A88 bytes.
