 *
 * This module provides function to resolve Internet address of the
 * specified host name. To resolve a particular host name, application
 * can just call #pj_gethostbyname().
 *
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 *   ...
 *   pj_hostent he;
 *   pj_status_t rc;
 *   pj_str_t host = pj_str("host.example.com");
 *   
 *   rc = pj_gethostbyname( &host, &he);
 *   if (rc != PJ_SUCCESS) {
 *      char errbuf[80];
 *      pj_strerror( rc, errbuf, sizeof(errbuf));
 *      PJ_LOG(2,("sample", "Unable to resolve host, error=%s", errbuf));
 *      return rc;
 *   }
 *
 *   // process address...
 *   addr.sin_addr.s_addr = *(pj_uint32_t*)he.h_addr;
 *   ...
 * </pre>
 *
 * It's pretty simple really...
