       Bobcat is an acronym of `Brokken’s Own Base Classes And Templates’.

       o      Hostname():
              The default constructor initializes an empty FBB::Hostname object.

       o      Hostname((std::stringconst&host)):
              This constructor initializes an FBB::Hostname object from a string representing the name or dotted
              decimal address of a host. An FBB::Exception object is thrown if the  hostname  information  could
              not be retrieved.

       o      Hostname(InetAddressconst&inetAddress):
              This constructor initializes an FBB::Hostname object from an InetAddress object. An FBB::Exception
              object is thrown if the hostname information could not be retrieved.

       Copy and move constructors (and assignment operators) are available.

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