While the example is using gethostbyname(), the real question being
asked is "how can I get a string from the user, and pass it to a
function", which would certainly not be off-topic. The fact that
the function is gethostbyname() and not print_foo(), is irrelevant
in this instance.

His followup post showed he found the correct answer -- that fgets()
leaves the newline intact, and he had to remove it before passing the
string to the function.
