25 * These functions provide hostname-to-address and address-to-hostname
26 * lookups by means of the lightweight resolver. They are similar to the
27 * standard gethostent(3) functions provided by most operating systems.
28 * They use a struct hostent which is usually defined in <namedb.h>.
30 * \code
31 * struct hostent {
32 * char *h_name; // official name of host
33 * char **h_aliases; // alias list
34 * int h_addrtype; // host address type
35 * int h_length; // length of address
36 * char **h_addr_list; // list of addresses from name server
37 * };
38 * #define h_addr h_addr_list[0] // address, for backward compatibility
39 * \endcode
41 * The members of this structure are:
43 * \li h_name:
44 * The official (canonical) name of the host.
46 * \li h_aliases:
47 * A NULL-terminated array of alternate names (nicknames) for the
48 * host.
50 * \li h_addrtype:
51 * The type of address being returned -- PF_INET or PF_INET6.
53 * \li h_length:
54 * The length of the address in bytes.
56 * \li h_addr_list:
57 * A NULL terminated array of network addresses for the host. Host
58 * addresses are returned in network byte order.
60 * For backward compatibility with very old software, h_addr is the first
61 * address in h_addr_list.
63 * lwres_gethostent(), lwres_sethostent(), lwres_endhostent(),
64 * lwres_gethostent_r(), lwres_sethostent_r() and lwres_endhostent_r()
65 * provide iteration over the known host entries on systems that provide
66 * such functionality through facilities like /etc/hosts or NIS. The
67 * lightweight resolver does not currently implement these functions; it
68 * only provides them as stub functions that always return failure.
70 * lwres_gethostbyname() and lwres_gethostbyname2() look up the hostname
71 * name. lwres_gethostbyname() always looks for an IPv4 address while
72 * lwres_gethostbyname2() looks for an address of protocol family af:
73 * either PF_INET or PF_INET6 -- IPv4 or IPV6 addresses respectively.
74 * Successful calls of the functions return a struct hostent for the name
75 * that was looked up. NULL is returned if the lookups by
76 * lwres_gethostbyname() or lwres_gethostbyname2() fail.
78 * Reverse lookups of addresses are performed by lwres_gethostbyaddr().
79 * addr is an address of length len bytes and protocol family type --
80 * PF_INET or PF_INET6. lwres_gethostbyname_r() is a thread-safe function
81 * for forward lookups. If an error occurs, an error code is returned in
82 * *error. resbuf is a pointer to a struct hostent which is initialised
83 * by a successful call to lwres_gethostbyname_r() . buf is a buffer of
84 * length len bytes which is used to store the h_name, h_aliases, and
85 * h_addr_list elements of the struct hostent returned in resbuf.
86 * Successful calls to lwres_gethostbyname_r() return resbuf, which is a
87 * pointer to the struct hostent it created.
89 * lwres_gethostbyaddr_r() is a thread-safe function that performs a
90 * reverse lookup of address addr which is len bytes long and is of
91 * protocol family type -- PF_INET or PF_INET6. If an error occurs, the
92 * error code is returned in *error. The other function parameters are
93 * identical to those in lwres_gethostbyname_r(). resbuf is a pointer to
94 * a struct hostent which is initialised by a successful call to
95 * lwres_gethostbyaddr_r(). buf is a buffer of length len bytes which is
96 * used to store the h_name, h_aliases, and h_addr_list elements of the
97 * struct hostent returned in resbuf. Successful calls to
98 * lwres_gethostbyaddr_r() return resbuf, which is a pointer to the
99 * struct hostent it created.
101 * \section gethost_return Return Values
103 * The functions lwres_gethostbyname(), lwres_gethostbyname2(),
104 * lwres_gethostbyaddr(), and lwres_gethostent() return NULL to indicate
105 * an error. In this case the global variable lwres_h_errno will contain
106 * one of the following error codes defined in \link netdb.h <lwres/netdb.h>:\endlink
108 * \li #HOST_NOT_FOUND:
109 * The host or address was not found.
111 * \li #TRY_AGAIN:
112 * A recoverable error occurred, e.g., a timeout. Retrying the
113 * lookup may succeed.
115 * \li #NO_RECOVERY:
116 * A non-recoverable error occurred.
118 * \li #NO_DATA:
119 * The name exists, but has no address information associated with
120 * it (or vice versa in the case of a reverse lookup). The code
121 * NO_ADDRESS is accepted as a synonym for NO_DATA for backwards
122 * compatibility.
124 * lwres_hstrerror() translates these error codes to suitable error
125 * messages.
127 * lwres_gethostent() and lwres_gethostent_r() always return NULL.
129 * Successful calls to lwres_gethostbyname_r() and
130 * lwres_gethostbyaddr_r() return resbuf, a pointer to the struct hostent
131 * that was initialised by these functions. They return NULL if the
132 * lookups fail or if buf was too small to hold the list of addresses and
133 * names referenced by the h_name, h_aliases, and h_addr_list elements of
134 * the struct hostent. If buf was too small, both lwres_gethostbyname_r()
135 * and lwres_gethostbyaddr_r() set the global variable errno to ERANGE.
137 * \section gethost_see See Also
139 * gethostent(), \link getipnode.c getipnode\endlink, lwres_hstrerror()
141 * \section gethost_bugs Bugs
143 * lwres_gethostbyname(), lwres_gethostbyname2(), lwres_gethostbyaddr()
144 * and lwres_endhostent() are not thread safe; they return pointers to
145 * static data and provide error codes through a global variable.
146 * Thread-safe versions for name and address lookup are provided by
147 * lwres_gethostbyname_r(), and lwres_gethostbyaddr_r() respectively.
149 * The resolver daemon does not currently support any non-DNS name
150 * services such as /etc/hosts or NIS, consequently the above functions
151 * don't, either.
