Getting error undefined reference to `getaddrinfo' on Linux

When I try to compile my small C program, I get the error msg: : undefined reference to `getaddrinfo'. I have included the netdb.h and socket.h header files too. But the error is in linker.

I see a query already on stackoverflow, but that was on Windows. I am trying it on a Linux machine. How do I make the compilation succeed ?

Thanks !

Here is the code:

   #include <stdlib.h>
   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <sys/socket.h>
   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <netdb.h>

   int main() {
   int status;
   struct addrinfo hints;
  struct addrinfo *servinfo; // will point to the results

  memset(&hints, 0, sizeof hints); // make sure the struct is empty 
  hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;    // don't care IPv4 or IPv6
  hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM; // TCP stream sockets 
  hints.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE;    // fill in my IP for me
  if ((status = getaddrinfo(NULL, "80", &hints, &servinfo)) != 0)
  {

     fprintf(stderr, "getaddrinfo error: \n");
      exit(1);
  }
  printf("\n %d %d %d %d %d %s",servinfo->ai_flags, servinf开发者_JAVA百科o->ai_family, servi    nfo->ai_socktype, servinfo->ai_protocol, servinfo->ai_addrlen, servinfo->ai_canonname);
  return 0;
 }
