.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
These routines are used for making, sending and interpreting
|
||
|
|
query and reply messages with Internet domain name servers.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
Global configuration and state information that is used by the
|
||
|
|
resolver routines is kept in the structure
|
||
|
|
.Em _res .
|
||
|
|
Most of the values have reasonable defaults and can be ignored.
|
||
|
|
Options
|
||
|
|
stored in
|
||
|
|
.Em _res.options
|
||
|
|
are defined in
|
||
|
|
.Pa resolv.h
|
||
|
|
and are as follows.
|
||
|
|
Options are stored as a simple bit mask containing the bitwise ``or''
|
||
|
|
of the options enabled.
|
||
|
|
.Bl -tag -width RES_DEFNAMES
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_INIT
|
||
|
|
True if the initial name server address and default domain name are
|
||
|
|
initialized (i.e.,
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
||
|
|
has been called).
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_DEBUG
|
||
|
|
Print debugging messages.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_AAONLY
|
||
|
|
Accept authoritative answers only.
|
||
|
|
With this option,
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
||
|
|
should continue until it finds an authoritative answer or finds an error.
|
||
|
|
Currently this is not implemented.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_USEVC
|
||
|
|
Use
|
||
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
||
|
|
connections for queries instead of
|
||
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
||
|
|
datagrams.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_STAYOPEN
|
||
|
|
Used with
|
||
|
|
.Dv RES_USEVC
|
||
|
|
to keep the
|
||
|
|
.Tn TCP
|
||
|
|
connection open between
|
||
|
|
queries.
|
||
|
|
This is useful only in programs that regularly do many queries.
|
||
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
||
|
|
should be the normal mode used.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_IGNTC
|
||
|
|
Unused currently (ignore truncation errors, i.e., don't retry with
|
||
|
|
.Tn TCP ) .
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_RECURSE
|
||
|
|
Set the recursion-desired bit in queries.
|
||
|
|
This is the default.
|
||
|
|
.Pf ( Fn res_send
|
||
|
|
does not do iterative queries and expects the name server
|
||
|
|
to handle recursion.)
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_DEFNAMES
|
||
|
|
If set,
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_search
|
||
|
|
will append the default domain name to single-component names
|
||
|
|
(those that do not contain a dot).
|
||
|
|
This option is enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
.It Dv RES_DNSRCH
|
||
|
|
If this option is set,
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_search
|
||
|
|
will search for host names in the current domain and in parent domains; see
|
||
|
|
.Xr hostname 7 .
|
||
|
|
This is used by the standard host lookup routine
|
||
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 .
|
||
|
|
This option is enabled by default.
|
||
|
|
.El
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
||
|
|
routine
|
||
|
|
reads the configuration file (if any; see
|
||
|
|
.Xr resolver 5 )
|
||
|
|
to get the default domain name,
|
||
|
|
search list and
|
||
|
|
the Internet address of the local name server(s).
|
||
|
|
If no server is configured, the host running
|
||
|
|
the resolver is tried.
|
||
|
|
The current domain name is defined by the hostname
|
||
|
|
if not specified in the configuration file;
|
||
|
|
it can be overridden by the environment variable
|
||
|
|
.Ev LOCALDOMAIN .
|
||
|
|
Initialization normally occurs on the first call
|
||
|
|
to one of the following routines.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_query
|
||
|
|
function provides an interface to the server query mechanism.
|
||
|
|
It constructs a query, sends it to the local server,
|
||
|
|
awaits a response, and makes preliminary checks on the reply.
|
||
|
|
The query requests information of the specified
|
||
|
|
.Fa type
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Fa class
|
||
|
|
for the specified fully-qualified domain name
|
||
|
|
.Fa dname .
|
||
|
|
The reply message is left in the
|
||
|
|
.Fa answer
|
||
|
|
buffer with length
|
||
|
|
.Fa anslen
|
||
|
|
supplied by the caller.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_search
|
||
|
|
routine makes a query and awaits a response like
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_query ,
|
||
|
|
but in addition, it implements the default and search rules
|
||
|
|
controlled by the
|
||
|
|
.Dv RES_DEFNAMES
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.Dv RES_DNSRCH
|
||
|
|
options.
|
||
|
|
It returns the first successful reply.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The remaining routines are lower-level routines used by
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_query .
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_mkquery
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
constructs a standard query message and places it in
|
||
|
|
.Fa buf .
|
||
|
|
It returns the size of the query, or \-1 if the query is
|
||
|
|
larger than
|
||
|
|
.Fa buflen .
|
||
|
|
The query type
|
||
|
|
.Fa op
|
||
|
|
is usually
|
||
|
|
.Dv QUERY ,
|
||
|
|
but can be any of the query types defined in
|
||
|
|
.Aq Pa arpa/nameser.h .
|
||
|
|
The domain name for the query is given by
|
||
|
|
.Fa dname .
|
||
|
|
.Fa Newrr
|
||
|
|
is currently unused but is intended for making update messages.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
||
|
|
routine
|
||
|
|
sends a pre-formatted query and returns an answer.
|
||
|
|
It will call
|
||
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
||
|
|
if
|
||
|
|
.Dv RES_INIT
|
||
|
|
is not set, send the query to the local name server, and
|
||
|
|
handle timeouts and retries.
|
||
|
|
The length of the reply message is returned, or
|
||
|
|
\-1 if there were errors.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn dn_comp
|
||
|
|
function
|
||
|
|
compresses the domain name
|
||
|
|
.Fa exp_dn
|
||
|
|
and stores it in
|
||
|
|
.Fa comp_dn .
|
||
|
|
The size of the compressed name is returned or \-1 if there were errors.
|
||
|
|
The size of the array pointed to by
|
||
|
|
.Fa comp_dn
|
||
|
|
is given by
|
||
|
|
.Fa length .
|
||
|
|
The compression uses
|
||
|
|
an array of pointers
|
||
|
|
.Fa dnptrs
|
||
|
|
to previously-compressed names in the current message.
|
||
|
|
The first pointer points to
|
||
|
|
to the beginning of the message and the list ends with
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
||
|
|
The limit to the array is specified by
|
||
|
|
.Fa lastdnptr .
|
||
|
|
A side effect of
|
||
|
|
.Fn dn_comp
|
||
|
|
is to update the list of pointers for
|
||
|
|
labels inserted into the message
|
||
|
|
as the name is compressed.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Em dnptr
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL, names are not compressed.
|
||
|
|
If
|
||
|
|
.Fa lastdnptr
|
||
|
|
is
|
||
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
||
|
|
the list of labels is not updated.
|
||
|
|
.Pp
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.Fn dn_expand
|
||
|
|
entry
|
||
|
|
expands the compressed domain name
|
||
|
|
.Fa comp_dn
|
||
|
|
to a full domain name
|
||
|
|
The compressed name is contained in a query or reply message;
|
||
|
|
.Fa msg
|
||
|
|
is a pointer to the beginning of the message.
|
||
|
|
The uncompressed name is placed in the buffer indicated by
|
||
|
|
.Fa exp_dn
|
||
|
|
which is of size
|
||
|
|
.Fa length .
|
||
|
|
The size of compressed name is returned or \-1 if there was an error.
