manpagedescription()
    bf(FBB::Hostname) objects inherit from tt(Hostent), and offers information
about a host, like bf(Hostent). Apart from being initialized by a hostname or
host address, they can also be initialized by a bf(FBB::InetAddress)
object. Most of the functionality of an bf(FBB::Hostname) object is available
through its parent-class bf(FBB::Hostent).
