>Description:

Except for the first two words, this paragraph of the hosts.equive(5) manual

    Host names are specified in the conventional ''.'' (dot) notation using
    the inet_addr(3) routine from the Internet address manipulation library,
    inet(3).  Host names may contain any printable character other than a
    field delimiter, newline, or comment character.

is the same as the paragraph of the hosts(5) manual which starts
"Network addresses".  That is confusing, or wrong.

As far as I have determined from looking at the referenced inet_addr(3)
manual and inet_addr.c, the first sentence of hosts.equiv(5)'s paragraph
is erroneous.
================
>How-To-Repeat:
n/a
================
>Fix:

Replace the first sentence with "Host names are specified in the
conventional Internet DNS dotted-domains notation."

Maybe it also accepts numeric IP addresses, but I saw no evidence of it.
