see spec in posix-sockets.ads:
   procedure Get_Socket_Address_Info
     (Name    : in     POSIX.POSIX_String;
      Service : in     POSIX.POSIX_String;
      Info    : in out Socket_Address_Info_List);
   procedure Get_Socket_Address_Info
     (Name    : in     POSIX.POSIX_String;
      Service : in     POSIX.POSIX_String;
      Request : in     Socket_Address_Info;
      Info    : in out Socket_Address_Info_List);

these are by itself thin bindings to wrappers around gethostbyname defined
in getaddrinfo.c.
According to it wrappers are necessary in order to make code protocol
independent that is
same function will work with IPv4 and IPv6.

Cheers.
