Host names
type HostName = String
getHostName :: IO HostName
Calling getHostName returns the standard host name for the current processor, as set at boot time.

getHostByName :: HostName -> IO HostEntry
Resolve a `HostName` to IPv4 address.
getHostByAddr :: Family -> HostAddress -> IO HostEntry
Get a `HostEntry` corresponding to the given address and family. Note that only IPv4 is currently supported.
