Hi,

I am writing a small client/server program with the aid of sockets. I
require to get the DNS name of the client from the server.

What method should I use?
Thanks in Advance

Get the client address from accept() or getpeername(), then use
gethostbyaddr() (or getaddrinfo() I guess, but I'm not too familiar with
it).
