Description

Looks up a host name and returns how many addresses it has. Use HostIP to get them. A name that cannot be found returns 0. An empty name is this computer, which has one address for every network interface that is up, with the loopback address (127.0.0.1) last.

Differences

• Only IPv4 addresses are counted, use CountHostAddresses for IPv6 too. UDPStreamIP is the first address of this computer.
