How can a process recognise its IP address?

Hi all,

If a C program runs on a machine which have two or more IP addresses
(127.0.0.1, 12.50.27.11, etc), how could it identify its IP address
after a gethostbyname call ?

Thanks in advance,
Riadh.

I found it: I will use aliases provided by gethostbyname!
