Description of the problem

As seen in issues like: #55762

the signature described in the documentation is incorrect.
The docs describe the signature like this:

  • callback
    • err
    • address A string representation of an IPv4 or IPv6 address.
    • family 4 or 6, denoting the family of address, or 0 if the address is not an IPv4 or IPv6 address. 0 is a likely indicator of a bug in the name resolution service used by the operating system.

While in reality the signature looks like this:
callback(err, [{address, family}]);
