POSIX network database (<netdb.h>) API
This package provides Haskell bindings to the the [POSIX network database (netdb.h) API](http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009696699/basedefs/netdb.h.html). === Relationship to the 'network' package The 'network' package version 2.* series provides "Network.BSD" but it is removed starting with 'network' version 3.0. This package provides the "Network.BSD" module split off from the<https://hackage.haskell.org/package/network network package>. If in addition to the 'network''s modules also "Network.BSD" is necessary, add 'network-bsd' to your dependencies like so:>library>build-depends: network>= 2.7&&<3.2>, network-bsd>= 2.7&&<2.9 I.e. you can control the version of the 'network' package independently. __NOTE__: Starting with 'network-bsd-2.8.1.0' the APIs of 'network' and 'network-bsd' evolve differently, and consequently the versioning doesn't match up anymore! Moreover, also starting with version 'network-bsd-2.8.1.0' this package requires 'network>= 3' in order to avoid module name clashes with 'network<3''s "Network.BSD" module. However, 'network-bsd-2.7.0.0' and 'network-bsd-2.8.0.0' passes thru the "Network.BSD" module from 'network-2.7.*' and 'network-2.8.*' respectively in a non-clashing way via Cabal's<https://www.haskell.org/cabal/users-guide/developing-packages.html#pkg-field-library-reexported-modules reexported-modules>feature while ensuring a well-defined<https://pvp.haskell.org/ API versioning>of the observable API of 'network-bsd'. This is why the example above supporting a wide range of 'network' versions works by including version 2.7.0.0 in the required version range of 'network-bsd'.
