DESCRIPTION

Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
      These functions perform thread safe, protocol independent
Packit 5ce601
      nodename-to-address and address-to-nodename
Packit 5ce601
      translation as defined in RFC2553.
Packit 5ce601
    

Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
      They use a
Packit 5ce601
      struct hostent
Packit 5ce601
      which is defined in
Packit 5ce601
      namedb.h:
Packit 5ce601
    

Packit Service 704ed8
Packit 5ce601
struct  hostent {
Packit 5ce601
        char    *h_name;        /* official name of host */
Packit 5ce601
        char    **h_aliases;    /* alias list */
Packit 5ce601
        int     h_addrtype;     /* host address type */
Packit 5ce601
        int     h_length;       /* length of address */
Packit 5ce601
        char    **h_addr_list;  /* list of addresses from name server */
Packit 5ce601
};
Packit 5ce601
#define h_addr  h_addr_list[0]  /* address, for backward compatibility */
Packit 5ce601
Packit 5ce601

Packit 5ce601
    

Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
      The members of this structure are:

Packit 5ce601
              PF_INET
Packit 5ce601
              or
Packit 5ce601
              PF_INET6.

Packit Service 704ed8

lwres_getipnodebyname()

Packit 5ce601
      looks up addresses of protocol family af
Packit 5ce601
      for the hostname name.  The
Packit 5ce601
      flags parameter contains ORed flag bits
Packit 5ce601
      to specify the types of addresses that are searched for, and the
Packit 5ce601
      types of addresses that are returned.  The flag bits are:
Packit 5ce601
Packit 5ce601
      

Packit 5ce601
Packit 5ce601
AI_V4MAPPED
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              This is used with an
Packit 5ce601
              af
Packit 5ce601
              of AF_INET6, and causes IPv4 addresses to be returned as
Packit 5ce601
              IPv4-mapped
Packit 5ce601
              IPv6 addresses.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
AI_ALL
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              This is used with an
Packit 5ce601
              af
Packit 5ce601
              of AF_INET6, and causes all known addresses (IPv6 and IPv4) to
Packit 5ce601
              be returned.
Packit 5ce601
              If AI_V4MAPPED is also set, the IPv4 addresses are return as
Packit 5ce601
              mapped
Packit 5ce601
              IPv6 addresses.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
AI_ADDRCONFIG
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              Only return an IPv6 or IPv4 address if here is an active network
Packit 5ce601
              interface of that type.  This is not currently implemented
Packit 5ce601
              in the BIND 9 lightweight resolver, and the flag is ignored.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
AI_DEFAULT
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              This default sets the
Packit 5ce601
              AI_V4MAPPED
Packit 5ce601
              and
Packit 5ce601
              AI_ADDRCONFIG
Packit 5ce601
              flag bits.

lwres_getipnodebyaddr()

Packit 5ce601
      performs a reverse lookup of address src
Packit 5ce601
      which is len bytes long.
Packit 5ce601
      af denotes the protocol family, typically
Packit 5ce601
      PF_INET or PF_INET6.
Packit 5ce601
    

Packit Service 704ed8

lwres_freehostent()

Packit 5ce601
      releases all the memory associated with the struct
Packit 5ce601
      hostent pointer he.  Any memory
Packit 5ce601
      allocated for the h_name,
Packit 5ce601
      h_addr_list and
Packit 5ce601
      h_aliases is freed, as is the memory for
Packit 5ce601
      the hostent structure itself.

RETURN VALUES

Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
      If an error occurs,
Packit 5ce601
      lwres_getipnodebyname()
Packit 5ce601
      and
Packit 5ce601
      lwres_getipnodebyaddr()
Packit 5ce601
      set
Packit 5ce601
      *error_num
Packit 5ce601
      to an appropriate error code and the function returns a
Packit 5ce601
      NULL
Packit 5ce601
      pointer.
Packit 5ce601
      The error codes and their meanings are defined in
Packit 5ce601
      <lwres/netdb.h>:
Packit 5ce601
      

Packit 5ce601
Packit 5ce601
HOST_NOT_FOUND
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              No such host is known.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
NO_ADDRESS
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              The server recognised the request and the name but no address is
Packit 5ce601
              available.  Another type of request to the name server for the
Packit 5ce601
              domain might return an answer.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
TRY_AGAIN
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              A temporary and possibly transient error occurred, such as a
Packit 5ce601
              failure of a server to respond.  The request may succeed if
Packit 5ce601
              retried.
Packit Service 704ed8
            

Packit 5ce601
NO_RECOVERY
Packit Service 704ed8

Packit 5ce601
              An unexpected failure occurred, and retrying the request
Packit 5ce601
              is pointless.

lwres_hstrerror(3)

Packit 5ce601
