96 * A string is encoded as a @size_t@ length followed by the actual data. The
97 * null terminator is not transmitted.
99 * Addresses for resolution are transmitted as raw @struct in_addr@
102 * A @hostent@ structure is transmitted as a header containing fixed-size
103 * information, followed by the official name, an array of aliases, and an
104 * array of addresses. The number of items in the arrays is specified in the

108 * sent. Undesirable blocking will occur if this is not the case. Both ends
109 * are assumed to trust each other. A protocol failure results in the child
