If LDAP is used to resolve host names, then an LDAP client always returns a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) for a host name. The LDAP FQDN is similar to the FQDN returned by DNS. For example, suppose your domain name is the following:
west.example.net
Both gethostbyname() and getnameinfo() return the FQDN version when looking up the host name server:
server.west.example.net
