Hi,

I've just found out that there's no such function "gethostbyaddress"
available in ~beta/process.
So what I need is the following:
e.g.
localhost_IP_address->getHostByAddress->putLine;
This should - in many cases - lead to "localhost".

Could you please tell me HOW to achieve that?
Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Sascha Kimmel
