Before you use this library you should see if libc +can do the job for you with the modern async call getaddrinfo_a +(see http://www.imperialviolet.org/page25.html#e498). Otherwise, +please continue. +.Pp +This code is based on libevent and you must call event_init before +any of the APIs in this file. You must also seed the OpenSSL random +source if you are using OpenSSL for ids (see below). +.Pp +This library is designed to be included and shipped with your source +code. You statically link with it. You should also test for the +existence of strtok_r and define HAVE_STRTOK_R if you have it. +.Pp +The DNS protocol requires a good source of id numbers and these +numbers should be unpredictable for spoofing reasons. There are +three methods for generating them here and you must define exactly +one of them. In increasing order of preference: +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width "DNS_USE_GETTIMEOFDAY_FOR_ID" -compact -offset indent +.It DNS_USE_GETTIMEOFDAY_FOR_ID +Using the bottom 16 bits of the usec result from gettimeofday. This +is a pretty poor solution but should work anywhere. +.It DNS_USE_CPU_CLOCK_FOR_ID +Using the bottom 16 bits of the nsec result from the CPU's time +counter. This is better, but may not work everywhere. Requires +POSIX realtime support and you'll need to link against -lrt on +glibc systems at least. +.It DNS_USE_OPENSSL_FOR_ID +Uses the OpenSSL RAND_bytes call to generate the data. You must +have seeded the pool before making any calls to this library. +.El +.Pp +The library keeps track of the state of nameservers and will avoid +them when they go down. Otherwise it will round robin between them. +.Pp +Quick start guide: + #include "evdns.h" + void callback(int result, char type, int count, int ttl, + void *addresses, void *arg); + evdns_resolv_conf_parse(DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, "/etc/resolv.conf"); + evdns_resolve("www.hostname.com", 0, callback, NULL); +.Pp +When the lookup is complete the callback function is called. The +first argument will be one of the DNS_ERR_* defines in evdns.h. +Hopefully it will be DNS_ERR_NONE, in which case type will be +DNS_IPv4_A, count will be the number of IP addresses, ttl is the time +which the data can be cached for (in seconds), addresses will point +to an array of uint32_t's and arg will be whatever you passed to +evdns_resolve. +.Pp +Searching: +.Pp +In order for this library to be a good replacement for glibc's resolver it +supports searching. This involves setting a list of default domains, in +which names will be queried for. The number of dots in the query name +determines the order in which this list is used. +.Pp +Searching appears to be a single lookup from the point of view of the API, +although many DNS queries may be generated from a single call to +evdns_resolve. Searching can also drastically slow down the resolution +of names. +.Pp +To disable searching: +.Bl -enum -compact -offset indent +.It +Never set it up. If you never call +.Fn evdns_resolv_conf_parse, +.Fn evdns_init, +or +.Fn evdns_search_add +then no searching will occur. +.It +If you do call +.Fn evdns_resolv_conf_parse +then don't pass +.Va DNS_OPTION_SEARCH +(or +.Va DNS_OPTIONS_ALL, +which implies it). +.It +When calling +.Fn evdns_resolve, +pass the +.Va DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH +flag. +.El +.Pp +The order of searches depends on the number of dots in the name. If the +number is greater than the ndots setting then the names is first tried +globally. Otherwise each search domain is appended in turn. +.Pp +The ndots setting can either be set from a resolv.conf, or by calling +evdns_search_ndots_set. +.Pp +For example, with ndots set to 1 (the default) and a search domain list of +["myhome.net"]: + Query: www + Order: www.myhome.net, www. +.Pp + Query: www.abc + Order: www.abc., www.abc.myhome.net +.Pp +.Sh API reference +.Pp +.Bl -tag -width 0123456 +.It Ft int Fn evdns_init +Initializes support for non-blocking name resolution by calling +.Fn evdns_resolv_conf_parse +on UNIX and +.Fn evdns_config_windows_nameservers +on Windows. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_nameserver_add "unsigned long int address" +Add a nameserver. The address should be an IP address in +network byte order. The type of address is chosen so that +it matches in_addr.s_addr. +Returns non-zero on error. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_nameserver_ip_add "const char *ip_as_string" +This wraps the above function by parsing a string as an IP +address and adds it as a nameserver. +Returns non-zero on error +.It Ft int Fn evdns_resolve "const char *name" "int flags" "evdns_callback_type callback" "void *ptr" +Resolve a name. The name parameter should be a DNS name. +The flags parameter should be 0, or DNS_QUERY_NO_SEARCH +which disables searching for this query. (see defn of +searching above). +.Pp +The callback argument is a function which is called when +this query completes and ptr is an argument which is passed +to that callback function. +.Pp +Returns non-zero on error +.It Ft void Fn evdns_search_clear +Clears the list of search domains +.It Ft void Fn evdns_search_add "const char *domain" +Add a domain to the list of search domains +.It Ft void Fn evdns_search_ndots_set "int ndots" +Set the number of dots which, when found in a name, causes +the first query to be without any search domain. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_count_nameservers "void" +Return the number of configured nameservers (not necessarily the +number of running nameservers). This is useful for double-checking +whether our calls to the various nameserver configuration functions +have been successful. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_clear_nameservers_and_suspend "void" +Remove all currently configured nameservers, and suspend all pending +resolves. Resolves will not necessarily be re-attempted until +evdns_resume() is called. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_resume "void" +Re-attempt resolves left in limbo after an earlier call to +evdns_clear_nameservers_and_suspend(). +.It Ft int Fn evdns_config_windows_nameservers "void" +Attempt to configure a set of nameservers based on platform settings on +a win32 host. Preferentially tries to use GetNetworkParams; if that fails, +looks in the registry. Returns 0 on success, nonzero on failure. +.It Ft int Fn evdns_resolv_conf_parse "int flags" "const char *filename" +Parse a resolv.conf like file from the given filename. +.Pp +See the man page for resolv.conf for the format of this file. +The flags argument determines what information is parsed from +this file: +.Bl -tag -width "DNS_OPTION_NAMESERVERS" -offset indent -compact -nested +.It DNS_OPTION_SEARCH +domain, search and ndots options +.It DNS_OPTION_NAMESERVERS +nameserver lines +.It DNS_OPTION_MISC +timeout and attempts options +.It DNS_OPTIONS_ALL +all of the above +.El +.Pp +The following directives are not parsed from the file: + sortlist, rotate, no-check-names, inet6, debug +.Pp +Returns non-zero on error: +.Bl -tag -width "0" -offset indent -compact -nested +.It 0 +no errors +.It 1 +failed to open file +.It 2 +failed to stat file +.It 3 +file too large +.It 4 +out of memory +.It 5 +short read from file +.El +.El +.Sh Internals: +Requests are kept in two queues. The first is the inflight queue. In +this queue requests have an allocated transaction id and nameserver. +They will soon be transmitted if they haven't already been. +.Pp +The second is the waiting queue. The size of the inflight ring is +limited and all other requests wait in waiting queue for space. This +bounds the number of concurrent requests so that we don't flood the +nameserver. Several algorithms require a full walk of the inflight +queue and so bounding its size keeps thing going nicely under huge +(many thousands of requests) loads. +.Pp +If a nameserver loses too many requests it is considered down and we +try not to use it. After a while we send a probe to that nameserver +(a lookup for google.com) and, if it replies, we consider it working +again. If the nameserver fails a probe we wait longer to try again +with the next probe. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr event 3 , +.Xr gethostbyname 3 , +.Xr resolv.conf 5 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm evdns +API was developed by Adam Langley on top of the +.Nm libevent +API. +The code was integrate into +.Nm Tor +by Nick Mathewson and finally put into +.Nm libevent +itself by Niels Provos. +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm evdns +API and code was written by Adam Langley with significant +contributions by Nick Mathewson. +.Sh BUGS +This documentation is neither complete nor authoritative. +If you are in doubt about the usage of this API then +check the source code to find out how it works, write +up the missing piece of documentation and send it to +me for inclusion in this man page. |
