From c163449ba7e68fecbfb1f1fe857e5c1ee87c8124 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andre Delfino Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2021 13:53:35 -0300 Subject: [PATCH] [doc] Fix gethostbyname_ex description (GH-28700) It seems part of `gethostbyname_ex` doc was copied from `gethostbyaddr`. The latter has an `ip_address` parameter whereas the former doesn't.
