string returnVal;
char temp[255];
if ((gethostname(temp,sizeof(temp))) == -1) {
perror("gethostname");
exit(1);
}
const hostent* host_info = NULL ;
host_info = gethostbyname(temp) ;
if (host_info) {
const in_addr* address = (in_addr*)host_info->h_addr_list[0] ;
memset(temp,NULL,sizeof(temp)) ;
strcpy(temp,inet_ntoa(*address)) ;
}
returnVal = temp;
return returnVal ;
