\&     BIO_PARSE_PRIO_HOST, BIO_PARSE_PRIO_SERV
\& };
\& int BIO_parse_hostserv(const char *hostserv, char **host, char **service,

.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBBIO_parse_hostserv()\fR will parse the information given in \fBhostserv\fR,
create strings with the hostname and service name and give those
back via \fBhost\fR and \fBservice\fR.  Those will need to be freed after
they are used.  \fBhostserv_prio\fR helps determine if \fBhostserv\fR shall
be interpreted primarily as a hostname or a service name in ambiguous
cases.
.PP
The syntax the \fBBIO_parse_hostserv()\fR recognises is:
.PP
.Vb 7
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + \*(Aq*\*(Aq
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq
\&        \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service
\& \*(Aq*\*(Aq  + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service
\& host
\& service
.Ve
.PP
The host part can be a name or an \s-1IP\s0 address.  If it's a IPv6
address, it \s-1MUST\s0 be enclosed in brackets, such as '[::1]'.
.PP
The service part can be a service name or its port number.  A service name
will be mapped to a port number using the system function \fBgetservbyname()\fR.
.PP
The returned values will depend on the given \fBhostserv\fR string
and \fBhostserv_prio\fR, as follows:
.PP
.Vb 5
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service  => *host = "host", *service = "service"
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + \*(Aq*\*(Aq      => *host = "host", *service = NULL
\& host + \*(Aq:\*(Aq            => *host = "host", *service = NULL
\&        \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service  => *host = NULL, *service = "service"
\&  \*(Aq*\*(Aq + \*(Aq:\*(Aq + service  => *host = NULL, *service = "service"
\&
\& in case no \*(Aq:\*(Aq is present in the string, the result depends on
\& hostserv_prio, as follows:
\&
\& when hostserv_prio == BIO_PARSE_PRIO_HOST
\& host                 => *host = "host", *service untouched
\&
\& when hostserv_prio == BIO_PARSE_PRIO_SERV
\& service              => *host untouched, *service = "service"
.Ve
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.IX Header "RETURN VALUES"
\&\fBBIO_parse_hostserv()\fR returns 1 on success or 0 on error.
