You can find this out by looking at the POSIX man-pages on most recent linux distributions.  Once you have them installed:

man 3p getnameinfo

will give you the information you want: "The getnameinfo() function shall be thread-safe."

In general, the POSIX man-pages are more detailed, if less readable than the usual Linux ones (and of course do not contain Linux-specific information).

Cheers,
Ralph.
