+.Dt REALHOSTNAME_SA 3
+.Os
+.Sh NAME
+.Nm realhostname_sa
+.Nd "convert a"
+.Vt "struct sockaddr"
+to the real host name
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libutil
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In netinet/in.h
+.In libutil.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn realhostname_sa "char *host" "size_t hsize" "struct sockaddr *addr" "int addrlen"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The function
+.Fn realhostname_sa
+converts
+.Ar addr
+to the corresponding host name.
+This is done by resolving
+.Ar addr
+to a host name and then ensuring that the host name resolves
+back to
+.Ar addr .
+.Pp
+.Ar host
+must point to a buffer of at least
+.Ar hsize
+bytes, and will always be written to by this function.
+.Pp
+If the name resolution does not work both ways or if the host name is longer
+than
+.Ar hsize
+bytes,
+.Xr getnameinfo 3
+with NI_NUMERICHOST specified, is used to convert
+.Ar addr
+to an ASCII form.
+.Pp
+If the string written to
+.Ar host
+is
+.Ar hsize
+bytes long,
+.Ar host
+will not be NUL terminated.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn realhostname_sa
+function will return one of the following constants which are defined in
+.In libutil.h :
+.Bl -tag -width XXX -offset XXX
+.It Li HOSTNAME_FOUND
+A valid host name was found.
+.It Li HOSTNAME_INCORRECTNAME
+A host name was found, but it did not resolve back to the passed
+.Ar ip .
+.Ar host
+now contains the numeric value of
+.Ar ip .
+.It Li HOSTNAME_INVALIDADDR
+.Ar ip
+could not be resolved.
+.Ar host
+now contains the numeric value of
+.Ar ip .
+.It Li HOSTNAME_INVALIDNAME
+A host name was found, but it could not be resolved back to any ip number.
+.Ar host
+now contains the numeric value of
+.Ar ip .
