-.TH ARES_GETHOSTBYNAME 3 "25 July 1998"
-.SH NAME
-ares_gethostbyname_file \- Lookup a name in the system's hosts file
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.B #include <ares.h>
-.PP
-.B int ares_gethostbyname_file(ares_channel \fIchannel\fP, const char *\fIname\fP,
-.B 	int \fIfamily\fP, struct hostent **host)
-.fi
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.B ares_gethostbyname_file
-function performs a host lookup by name against the system's hosts file (or equivalent local hostname database).  
-The
-.IR channel
-parameter is required, but no asynchronous queries are performed.  Instead, the
-lookup is done via the same mechanism used to perform 'f' lookups
-(see the
-.I lookups
-options field in \fIares_init_options(3)\fP).
-The parameter
-.I name
-gives the hostname as a NUL-terminated C string, and
-.I family
-gives the desired type of address for the resulting host entry.  
-.PP
-The return value indicates whether the query succeeded and, if not, how it
-failed.  It may have any of the following values:
-.TP 19
-.B ARES_SUCCESS
-The host lookup completed successfully and 
-.I host
-now points to the result (and must be freed with \fIares_free_hostent(3)\fP).
-.TP 19
-.B ARES_ENOTFOUND
-The hostname
-.I name
-was not found.
-.TP 19
-.B ARES_EFILE
-There was a file I/O error while performing the lookup.
-.TP 19
-.B ARES_ENOMEM
-Memory was exhausted.
-.PP
-On successful completion of the query, the pointer pointed to by
-.I host
-points to a
-.B struct hostent
-containing the address of the host returned by the lookup.  The user must
-free the memory pointed to by
-.IR host
-when finished with it by calling \fIares_free_hostent(3)\fP.  If the lookup did
-not complete successfully, 
-.I host
-will be
-.BR NULL .
-.SH AVAILABILITY
-Added in c-ares 1.5.4
