critical impact:

inet_* APIs - additional header files needed (CrCh121)

Problem description

The identified Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) on HP-UX require additional header files.

On Tru64 UNIX, you needed to include the <arpa/inet.h> header file in order to use these APIs. On HP-UX, you also need the <sys/socket> and <netinet/in.h> header files.

Identifiers

inet_addr	inet_makeaddr	inet_network
inet_lnaof	inet_netof	inet_ntoa
