WARNINGS
HOST must be a string representation of a resolvable name for this host.
Strings containing an IP address in dotted decimal notation will be
returned as-is, without further resolution.
The use of the word "canonical" in this context is unfortunate but
entrenched. The value returned by this function will be the end result
of the resolution of any CNAME chains in the DNS. There may only be one
such value for any given hostname, though the actual IP address
referenced by this value and the device using that IP address may each
actually have any number of such "canonical" hostnames. See the POSIX
getaddrinfo spec
<https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getaddrinfo.html>,
RFC 1034 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1034.txt>, & RFC 2181
<https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2181.txt> for more on what this confusing
term really refers to. */
