#
# SYNOPSIS
#
#   AX_FUNC_WHICH_GETHOSTBYNAME_R
#
# DESCRIPTION
#
#   Determines which historical variant of the gethostbyname_r() call
#   (taking three, five, or six arguments) is available on the system and
#   defines one of the following macros accordingly:
#
#     HAVE_FUNC_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_6
#     HAVE_FUNC_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_5
#     HAVE_FUNC_GETHOSTBYNAME_R_3
#
#   as well as
#
#     HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R
#
#   If used in conjunction with gethostname.c, the API demonstrated in
#   test.c can be used regardless of which gethostbyname_r() is available.
#   These example files can be found at
#   http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/publink/gethostbyname_r
#
#   based on David Arnold's autoconf suggestion in the threads faq
#
#   Originally named "AC_caolan_FUNC_WHICH_GETHOSTBYNAME_R". Rewritten for
#   Autoconf 2.5x, and updated for 2.68 by Daniel Richard G.

# ONE ARGUMENT (sanity check)
#

# This should fail, as there is no variant of gethostbyname_r() that takes
# a single argument. If it actually compiles, then we can assume that
# netdb.h is not declaring the function, and the compiler is thereby
# assuming an implicit prototype. In which case, we're out of luck.
