NET_NameToAddr 


 

NET_NameToAddr ( hostName ; ip_Longint ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
hostName  String in Host name or IP address
ip_Longint  Longint in Long Integer reference to the address
Function result  Integer in Error Code

The NET_NameToAddr command takes a host name or IP address and returns a unique long integer reference to the address.

hostName is the host name or IP address.

ip_Longint is a Longint value representing the IP address specified in the hostName parameter. All IP address strings can be converted to a signed Longint value.

While the ip_Longint value does not typically have a significant use, some developers may find this command useful to convert IP addresses into a more compact Longint format for data-storage.
