Each DNS client has its own set of nameserver * addresses and its own set of operational parameters. Each client * can perform DNS queries and searches independent of other clients. * Each client has a symbolic name which is of the same format as a * domain name, e.g. "apple.com". A special meta-client, known as the * "Super" DNS client, acts as a router for DNS queries. The Super * client chooses among all available clients by finding a best match * between the domain name given in a query and the names of all known * clients. * * The configuration for a particular client may be read from a file * having the same format as the traditional "/etc/resolv.conf" file. * However, client configurations are not limited to being stored in * files. The implementation of the library may also locate client * configuratins in other data sources, such as the System Configuration * Database. Users of this API should make no assumptions about the * source of the configuration data. */ typedef const struct __dns_handle_private_struct *dns_handle_t; __BEGIN_DECLS /* * Create a client handle for DNS access. * * "Super" DNS client * * dns_open(NULL) returns a "super" client that routes DNS queries * among all DNS configurations known to the system. * * Queries for qualified names are sent using a client configuration that * best matches the domain name given in the query. For example, if there * is a client named "apple.com", a search for "foo.apple.com" would use the * resolver configuration specified for that client. The matching algorithm * chooses the client with the maximum number of matching domain components. * For example, if there are clients named "a.b.c", and "b.c", a search for * "x.a.b.c" would use the "a.b.c" resolver configuration, while a search * for "x.y.b.c" would use the "b.c" client. If there are no matches, the * configuration settings in the default client - generally corresponding to * the /etc/resolv.conf file or to the "primary" DNS configuration on the * system are used for the query. * * The domain search list defined in the "default" client is used to search * for unqualified names, by appending each domain in the search list and * then following the logic for matching qualified names described above. * * The DNS access APIs may be used by multiple threads. Each thread must * use a separate DNS client handle created by calling dns_open(). * * A simple DNS client handle may be obtained by providing a non-NULL value * for the "name" parameter. Simple clients correspond to a single DNS * configuration, derived from a resolv.conf format file or from some other * source of configurations known to the system. * The name parameter may be a full or relative path name (starting with '/' * or '.'), in which case the client's configuration is read from the * named file. If the name parameter is not a file path name, the routine * will search through all known sources of DNS configuration data on the * system to locate DNS configuration data corresponding to the name supplied, * or NULL if none can be found. * * Use _PATH_RESCONF to open /etc/resolv.conf. */ extern dns_handle_t dns_open(const char *name); /* * Close a client and free its resources. */ extern void dns_free(dns_handle_t dns); /* * Enable / Disable debug logging. */ extern void dns_set_debug(dns_handle_t dns, uint32_t flag); /* * Returns the number of names in the search list. */ extern uint32_t dns_search_list_domain_count(dns_handle_t dns); /* * Returns the domain name at index i in the search list. * Returns NULL if there are no names in the search list, * or if i is out of range. * Caller must free the returned value. */ extern char *dns_search_list_domain(dns_handle_t dns, uint32_t i); /* * Resolve a name. * The name is considered fully-qualified (the search list is not used). * Caller must supply buffer space for the reply message and the server address. */ extern int32_t dns_query(dns_handle_t dns, const char *name, uint32_t dnsclass, uint32_t dnstype, char *buf, uint32_t len, struct sockaddr *from, uint32_t *fromlen); /* * Search for a name. * Caller must supply buffer space for the reply message and the server address. */ extern int32_t dns_search(dns_handle_t dns, const char *name, uint32_t dnsclass, uint32_t dnstype, char *buf, uint32_t len, struct sockaddr *from, uint32_t *fromlen); __END_DECLS #endif /* __DNS_H__ */
