The IP address is 192.168.23.4
. I am able to get the hostname from the ipaddress using the following code snippet:
struct sockaddr_in sa;
char str[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
inet_pton(AF_INET, "192.168.23.4", &(sa.sin_addr));
struct sockaddr_in saGNI;
char hostname[NI_MAXHOST];
char servInfo[NI_MAXSERV];
u_short port = 27015;
saGNI.sin_family = AF_INET;
saGNI.sin_addr.s_addr = sa.sin_addr.s_addr;
saGNI.sin_port = htons(port);
DWORD dwRetval = getnameinfo((struct sockaddr *) &saGNI,
sizeof(struct sockaddr),
hostname,
NI_MAXHOST, servInfo, NI_MAXSERV, NI_NUMERICSERV);
printf("HostName: %s", hostname);
I am getting an output of the form
ComputerName.domain.com
How do I get the Computername from the hostname?
Eg Input
ComputerName.domain.com
Eg Output
ComputerName
Is there any way to directly get the ComputerName of a system whose IP address is known?
I am looking for the same result as displayed using the Hostname command on the remote system.
As suggested by emirc, the following code is printing Computername:
struct sockaddr_in sa;
char str[INET_ADDRSTRLEN];
inet_pton(AF_INET, "192.168.23.4", &(sa.sin_addr));
struct sockaddr_in saGNI;
char hostname[NI_MAXHOST];
char servInfo[NI_MAXSERV];
u_short port = 27015;
saGNI.sin_family = AF_INET;
saGNI.sin_addr.s_addr = sa.sin_addr.s_addr;
saGNI.sin_port = htons(port);
DWORD dwRetval = getnameinfo((struct sockaddr *) &saGNI,
sizeof(struct sockaddr),
hostname,
NI_MAXHOST, servInfo, NI_MAXSERV, NI_NOFQDN);
printf("HostName: %s", hostname);
Note: I have changed the flag from NI_NUMERICSERV
to
NI_NOFQDN
