Does anyone understand the hostent structure?

struct hostent
{
  char *h_name;			/* Official name of host.  */
  char **h_aliases;		/* Alias list.  */
  int h_addrtype;		/* Host address type.  */
  int h_length;			/* Length of address.  */
  char **h_addr_list;		/* List of addresses from name server.  */
#define	h_addr	h_addr_list[0]	/* Address, for backward compatibility.  */
};

The only thing I get is that the last 4 bytes are the local machine's ip address in reverse.
