+This implementation allows experimental numeric IPv6 address notation with
+scope identifier.
+IPv6 link-local address will appear as a string like
+.Dq Li fe80::1%ne0 .
+Refer to
+.Xr getaddrinfo 3
+for more information.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn getnameinfo
returns zero on success or one of the error codes listed in
.Xr gai_strerror 3
if an error occurs.
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+The following code tries to get a numeric host name, and service name,
+for a given socket address.
+Observe that there is no hardcoded reference to a particular address family.
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
+char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST], sbuf[NI_MAXSERV];
+
+if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), sbuf,
+ sizeof(sbuf), NI_NUMERICHOST | NI_NUMERICSERV)) {
+ errx(1, "could not get numeric hostname");
+ /*NOTREACHED*/
+}
+printf("host=%s, serv=%s\en", hbuf, sbuf);

+.Pp
+The following version checks if the socket address has a reverse address mapping:

+struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
+char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST];
+
+if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), NULL, 0,
