struct hostent[edit]

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.
