ipaddr-to-hostname

Function

Package: socket

Arguments: ipaddr &key ignore-cache

Returns, as a string, the hostname of the machine with the given 32-bit IP address, ipaddr.

The ignore-cache argument is new in 5.0.1. If specified true, then the lookup will be done by querying the operating system ipaddr lookup libraries rather than using a value that Lisp has cached. The result of the lookup is still cached, however.

See socket.htm for general information on sockets in Allegro CL.

The documentation is described in introduction.htm and the index is in index.htm.
