-It's currently unknown how the output buffer is converted into a hostent struct.
+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.
