Subject: gethostbyname and resolv.conf

FYI: Looks like the musl gethostbyname() doesn't use the "search" command
in the resolv.conf file.


$ cat test_gethostbyname.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <netdb.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    struct hostent *lh = gethostbyname(argv[1]);

    if (lh)
        puts(lh->h_name);
    else
        herror("gethostbyname");

    return 0;
}
$

gcc     test_gethostbyname.c   -o test_gethostbyname
$ test_gethostbyname lifeline.rx30.com
