[torquedev] get_fullhostname question

[Matti Bickel]

Hi folks.
I'm trying to rewrite get_fullhostname in lib/Libnet/get_hostname.c
There's this snippet:

if ((pcolon = strchr(shortname,':')) != NULL) {
     *pcolon = '\0';
     if (*(pcolon - 1) == '\\') {
       pbkslh = pcolon - 1;
       *pbkslh = '\0';
     }
}

Obviously, there's some cutting going on. Having only cursory glances at
the code, i don't understand why that's needed in DNS code.

Can somebody illustrate example input for this function?
