Description horcicka 2001-01-17 15:40:00 UTC 
The send(2) manual page does not mention the EHOSTDOWN error which can be
errno set to when the destination host is on the same network and it is down
(i.e. ARP requests have timed out).

How-To-Repeat: 
man 2 send
Comment 1 csxbcs 2001-01-17 20:44:45 UTC 
Would an explanation like

     [EHOSTDOWN]        The remote host was down.

be sufficient, or would something a bit more detailed be better?  The
explanation for EHOSTUNREACH isn't very long though...
