MorphOS supports bsdsocket.library API. This API defines gethostbyname() as the name resolution function.

Of course support will be added when we get around to implementing IPv6. Until then it isn't needed, nor does it offer any real benefits over gethostnyname().

PS. I disagree with the notion in that blog post. There's nothing wrong with gethostbyname(). Just because some API is old doesn't necessarily equal it being bad.
