SYNOPSIS

struct dn_naddr *dnet_addr (char *nodename)

DESCRIPTION

dnet_addr search the decnet hosts file for nodename and returns the DECnet address in the dn_naddr structure
If no entry is found, returns NULL

EXAMPLE

#include <netdnet/dn.h>
#include <netdnet/dnetdb.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>

     memcpy(sockaddr.sdn_add.a_addr, binaddr->a_addr,binaddr->a_len);
     if (connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&sockaddr, 
                sizeof(sockaddr)) < 0)
