 .Sh DESCRIPTION
 The
 .Fn getnameinfo
-function is defined for protocol-independent address-to-nodename translation.
-Its functionality is a reverse conversion of
-.Xr getaddrinfo 3 ,
-and implements similar functionality to
+function is used to convert a
+.Li sockaddr
+structure to a pair of host name and service strings.
+It is a replacement for and provides more flexibility than the
 .Xr gethostbyaddr 3
 and
 .Xr getservbyport 3
-in a more sophisticated manner.
-.Pp
-This function looks up an IP address and port number provided by the
-caller in the DNS and system-specific database, and returns text
-strings for both in buffers provided by the caller.
-The function indicates successful completion by a zero return value;
-a non-zero return value indicates failure.
+functions and is the converse of the
+.Xr getaddrinfo 3
+function.
 .Pp
-The first argument,
-.Fa sa ,
-points to either a
-.Li sockaddr_in
-structure (for IPv4) or a
-.Li sockaddr_in6
-structure (for IPv6) that holds the IP address and port number.
 The
-.Fa salen
-argument gives the length of the
+.Li sockaddr
+structure
+.Fa sa
+should point to either a
 .Li sockaddr_in
 or
 .Li sockaddr_in6
-structure.
-.Pp
-The function returns the nodename associated with the IP address in
-the buffer pointed to by the
-.Fa host
-argument.
-The caller provides the size of this buffer via the
-.Fa hostlen
-argument.
-The service name associated with the port number is returned in the buffer
-pointed to by
-.Fa serv ,
-and the
-.Fa servlen
-argument gives the length of this buffer.
-The caller specifies not to return either string by providing a zero
-value for the
-.Fa hostlen
-or
-.Fa servlen
-arguments.
-Otherwise, the caller must provide buffers large enough to hold the
-nodename and the service name, including the terminating null characters.
-.Pp
-Unfortunately most systems do not provide constants that specify the
-maximum size of either a fully-qualified domain name or a service name.
-Therefore to aid the application in allocating buffers for these two
-returned strings the following constants are defined in
-.Aq Pa netdb.h :
-.Bd -literal -offset
-#define NI_MAXHOST  1025
-#define NI_MAXSERV    32
-.Ed
+structure (for IPv4 or IPv6 respectively) that is
+.Fa salen
+bytes long.
 .Pp
-The first value is actually defined as the constant
-.Dv MAXDNAME
-in recent versions of BIND's
-.Aq Pa arpa/nameser.h
-header
-.Po
-older versions of BIND define this constant to be 256
-.Pc
-and the second is a guess based on the services listed in the current
-Assigned Numbers RFC.
-.Pp
-The final argument is a
-.Fa flag
-that changes the default actions of this function.
-By default the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for the host is
-looked up in the DNS and returned.
-If the flag bit
-.Dv NI_NOFQDN
-is set, only the nodename portion of the FQDN is returned for local hosts.
+The host and service names associated with
+.Fa sa
+are stored in
+.Fa host
+and
+.Fa serv
+which have length parameters
+.Fa hostlen
+and
+.Fa servlen .
+The maximum value for
+.Fa hostlen
+is
+.Dv NI_MAXHOST
+and
+the maximum value for
+.Fa servlen
+is
+.Dv NI_MAXSERV ,
+as defined by
+.Aq Pa netdb.h .
+If a length parameter is zero, no string will be stored.
+Otherwise, enough space must be provided to store the
+host name or service string plus a byte for the NUL terminator.

-.Fa flag
