+
+
+ <p><code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>
+ is used to get a list of IP addresses and port numbers for host
+ <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> and service
+ <em class="parameter"><code>servname</code></em>.
+
+ The function is the lightweight resolver's implementation of
+ <code class="function">getaddrinfo()</code> as defined in RFC2133.
+ <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> and
+ <em class="parameter"><code>servname</code></em> are pointers to null-terminated
+ strings or <span class="type">NULL</span>.
+
+ <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> is either a host name or a
+ numeric host address string: a dotted decimal IPv4 address or an
+ IPv6 address. <em class="parameter"><code>servname</code></em> is either a
+ decimal port number or a service name as listed in
+ <code class="filename">/etc/services</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p><em class="parameter"><code>hints</code></em>
+ is an optional pointer to a
+ <span class="type">struct addrinfo</span>.
+ This structure can be used to provide hints concerning the type of
+ socket
+ that the caller supports or wishes to use.
+ The caller can supply the following structure elements in
+ <em class="parameter"><code>*hints</code></em>:
+
+ </p>
+<div class="variablelist"><dl class="variablelist">
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">ai_family</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ The protocol family that should be used.
+ When
+ <code class="constant">ai_family</code>
+ is set to
+ <span class="type">PF_UNSPEC</span>,
+ it means the caller will accept any protocol family supported by
+ the
+ operating system.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">ai_socktype</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ denotes the type of socket &#8212;
+ <span class="type">SOCK_STREAM</span>,
+ <span class="type">SOCK_DGRAM</span>
+ or
+ <span class="type">SOCK_RAW</span>
+ &#8212; that is wanted.
+ When
+ <code class="constant">ai_socktype</code>
+ is zero the caller will accept any socket type.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">ai_protocol</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ indicates which transport protocol is wanted: IPPROTO_UDP or
+ IPPROTO_TCP.
+ If
+ <code class="constant">ai_protocol</code>
+ is zero the caller will accept any protocol.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+<dt><span class="term"><code class="constant">ai_flags</code></span></dt>
+<dd>
+ <p>
+ Flag bits.
+ If the
+ <span class="type">AI_CANONNAME</span>
+ bit is set, a successful call to
+ <code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>
+ will return a null-terminated string containing the canonical
+ name
+ of the specified hostname in
+ <code class="constant">ai_canonname</code>
+ of the first
+ <span class="type">addrinfo</span>
+ structure returned.
+ Setting the
+ <span class="type">AI_PASSIVE</span>
+ bit indicates that the returned socket address structure is
+ intended
+ for used in a call to
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">bind</span>(2)
+ </span>.
+
+ In this case, if the hostname argument is a
+ <span class="type">NULL</span>
+ pointer, then the IP address portion of the socket
+ address structure will be set to
+ <span class="type">INADDR_ANY</span>
+ for an IPv4 address or
+ <span class="type">IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT</span>
+ for an IPv6 address.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ When
+ <code class="constant">ai_flags</code>
+ does not set the
+ <span class="type">AI_PASSIVE</span>
+ bit, the returned socket address structure will be ready
+ for use in a call to
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">connect</span>(2)
+ </span>
+ for a connection-oriented protocol or
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">connect</span>(2)
+ </span>,
+
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">sendto</span>(2)
+ </span>,
+
+ or
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">sendmsg</span>(2)
+ </span>
+ if a connectionless protocol was chosen.
+ The IP address portion of the socket address structure will be
+ set to the loopback address if
+ <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>
+ is a
+ <span class="type">NULL</span>
+ pointer and
+ <span class="type">AI_PASSIVE</span>
+ is not set in
+ <code class="constant">ai_flags</code>.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ If
+ <code class="constant">ai_flags</code>
+ is set to
+ <span class="type">AI_NUMERICHOST</span>
+ it indicates that
+ <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>
+ should be treated as a numeric string defining an IPv4 or IPv6
+ address
+ and no name resolution should be attempted.
+ </p>
+ </dd>
+</dl></div>
+<p>
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ All other elements of the <span class="type">struct addrinfo</span> passed
+ via <em class="parameter"><code>hints</code></em> must be zero.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ A <em class="parameter"><code>hints</code></em> of <span class="type">NULL</span> is
+ treated as if
+ the caller provided a <span class="type">struct addrinfo</span> initialized to zero
+ with <code class="constant">ai_family</code>set to
+ <code class="constant">PF_UNSPEC</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ After a successful call to
+ <code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>,
+ <em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em>
+ is a pointer to a linked list of one or more
+ <span class="type">addrinfo</span>
+ structures.
+ Each
+ <span class="type">struct addrinfo</span>
+ in this list cn be processed by following
+ the
+ <code class="constant">ai_next</code>
+ pointer, until a
+ <span class="type">NULL</span>
+ pointer is encountered.
+ The three members
+ <code class="constant">ai_family</code>,
+ <code class="constant">ai_socktype</code>,
+ and
+ <code class="constant">ai_protocol</code>
+ in each
+ returned
+ <span class="type">addrinfo</span>
+ structure contain the corresponding arguments for a call to
+ <span class="citerefentry">
+ <span class="refentrytitle">socket</span>(2)
+ </span>.
+ For each
+ <span class="type">addrinfo</span>
+ structure in the list, the
+ <code class="constant">ai_addr</code>
+ member points to a filled-in socket address structure of length
+ <code class="constant">ai_addrlen</code>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ All of the information returned by
+ <code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>
+ is dynamically allocated: the addrinfo structures, and the socket
+ address structures and canonical host name strings pointed to by the
+ <code class="constant">addrinfo</code>structures.
+ Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures created by
+ a successful call to
+ <code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>
+ is released by
+ <code class="function">lwres_freeaddrinfo()</code>.
+ <em class="parameter"><code>ai</code></em>
+ is a pointer to a
+ <span class="type">struct addrinfo</span>
+ created by a call to
+ <code class="function">lwres_getaddrinfo()</code>.

+
