据说是微软的ping的源代码，socket编程当中的问题：关于gethostbyname高手请 ...

为什么当gethosetbyname返回为0的时候还检查，也不知道该怎么说。总之，请帮我解释一下这段程序。谢谢！

struct hostent * hp;

hp = gethostbyname(argv[1]);

if (!hp){
addr = inet_addr(argv[1]);
}
if ((!hp) && (addr == INADDR_NONE) ) {
fprintf(stderr,"Unable to resolve %s\n",argv[1]);
ExitProcess(STATUS_FAILED);
}

if (hp != NULL)
memcpy(&(dest.sin_addr),hp->h_addr,hp->h_length);
else
dest.sin_addr.s_addr = addr;

if (hp)
dest.sin_family = hp->h_addrtype;
else
dest.sin_family = AF_INET;
