    Visual C++ Network: How to get the local hostname?

    Q: How to get the local hostname?

    A:

    Code:
    #include <winsock2.h>
    
    // Add ws2_32.lib to your linker options
    
    WSADATA WSAData;
    
    // Initialize winsock dll
    if(::WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1, 0), &WSAData) == FALSE)
      // Error handling
    
    // Get local host name
    char szHostName[128] = "";
    
    if(::gethostname(szHostName, sizeof(szHostName) - 1))
      // Error -> call 'WSAGetLastError()'
    
    // Cleanup
    WSACleanup();
