(ql-sbcl:get-host-by-name host-name)
Function: Returns a HOST-ENT instance for HOST-NAME or signals a NAME-SERVICE-ERROR. HOST-NAME may also be an IP address in dotted quad notation or some other weird stuff - see gethostbyname(3) or getaddrinfo(3) for the details.
Example:
(defun my-fqdn ()
  (sb-bsd-sockets:host-ent-name
   (sb-bsd-sockets:get-host-by-name
    (machine-instance))))
