Subject:	b20 patch: 'gethostname()' from winsock
2 Nov 1998 16:18:57 -0800 :
Message-ID:	<363E4695.5F8A48F1.cygnus.cygwin32.developers@cityweb.de>
Mime-Version:	1.0
To:	cygwin32-developers AT cygnus DOT com

The following patch would allow, to get your hostname from the
winsock library, if it's installed. The result could be different
from the now only used 'GetComputerName()', because this function
takes the windows computer name, instead of the tcp/ip hostname.
The following patch checks, if it's possible, to get the hostname
from winsock, else it uses GetComputerName. The (possible) use of
winsock implies the move of `gethostname()' from `syscalls.cc' to
`net.cc'.

Regards,
Corinna

ChangeLog:
Mon Nov  2 23:53:00  Corinna Vinschen <corinna DOT vinschen AT cityweb DOT de>

	* syscall.cc (gethostname): function deleted

	* net.cc (gethostname): new function 'gethostname' which
	first calls wsock32::gethostname and only if it fails,
	calls GetComputerNameA as suggested by Chris Faylor.
