The particular version of the resolver code which iftop
uses is decided by the configure script at compile time. I
thought the configure script printed that out, but it
looks like it doesn't, necessarily. So, the easiest way to
find out is, in the build directory, to type,

    grep USE config.h

you'll get output something like this:

    /* #undef USE_ARES */
    /* #undef USE_FORKING_RESOLVER */
    /* #undef USE_GETHOSTBYADDR */
    #define USE_GETHOSTBYADDR_R 1
    /* #undef USE_GETNAMEINFO */

-- the #define line in this case indicates that that build
of iftop uses name-resolution code based on
gethostbyaddr_r(3).
