<h2>Name-to-Address Translation APIs</h2>
<p>The name-to-address translation APIs allow an application to obtain the
address of a service on a specified host in a transport-independent manner.
These APIs are typically used by the applications that use the expert level
TI-RPC APIs.</p>
<p>The name-to-address translation APIs are:</p>
