-This is a simple program which demonstrates how to query the kernel
-routing mechanism using only a UDP socket. Pass it a hostname on
-the command line (sorry, it doesn't parse dotted decimal) and it will
-print out an IP address which names the interface over which UDP
-packets intended for that destination would be sent.
-A more sophisticated program might use the list obtained from SIOCGIFCONF
-to match the address with an interface name, but applications programmers
-much more often need to know the address of the interface rather than
-the name.
