Not teaching you how to suck eggs, but I run up against this issue of finding fpc examples quite 
often. The best solution I have found is to keep a copy of the fpc source tree on my hard disk and 
grep for the function I want to use. More often than not someone has already used it somewhere in 
that pile of code.

brad at bklaptop2:/tracks/devel/fpc/fpc-src$ grep -ir gethostbyname *

<snip lots of output>

packages/libndsfpc/examples/dswifi/main9.pp:  // Find the IP address of the server, with gethostbyname
packages/libndsfpc/examples/dswifi/main9.pp:  myhost := gethostbyname('www.akkit.org');
