获取主机名、IP——gethostent(),gethostbyname(),gethostbyaddr()，
1、原理：查询 /etc/hosts 等文件及 DNS or NIS 服务器
The domain name queries carried out by gethostbyname() and gethostbyaddr() use a combination of any or all of the name server named(8), a broken out line from /etc/hosts, and the Network Information Service (NIS or YP), depending upon the contents of the
order line in /etc/host.conf. The default action is to query named(8), followed by
/etc/hosts.(ubuntu man page)
The network configuration information returned by these functions can be kept in a number of places. They can be kept in static files (/etc/hosts, /etc/services, etc.), or they can be managed by a name service, such as DNS (Domain Name System) or NIS (Network
Information Service).
2、说明：
1) gethostbyname*() 和 gethostbyaddr*() 已经过时，用 getaddrinfo() 和 getnameinfo() 替代
The gethostbyname*() and gethostbyaddr*() functions are obsolete. Applications should use getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) instead.
POSIX.1-2001 specifies gethostbyname(), gethostbyaddr(), sethostent(), endhostent(), gethostent(), and h_errno;
gethostbyname(), gethostbyaddr(), and h_errno are marked obsolescent in that standard.
POSIX.1-2008 removes the specifications of gethostbyname(), gethostbyaddr(), and h_errno, recommending the use of getaddrinfo(3) and getnameinfo(3) instead.
(ubuntu man page)
The gethostbyname and gethostbyaddr functions only support IPv4. The API for resolving IPv6 addresses went through several iterations, as will be described in Section 11.20; the final result is the getaddrinfo function.(UNIX
Network Programming Volume 1, Third Edition )
2) 返回只想静态数据区的指针
The value that gethostbyname returns points to a static structure within the library. You must copy the information from this structure before you make further gethostbyname , gethostbyaddr , or gethostent calls.
(ubuntu man page)

4) gethostent(): gets the next entry in the host file, 即每次获取下一个entry, 所以编写程序是通常都用一个 while 循环来获取所有 entry
