.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
function is used to convert a
|
|
|
|
.Li sockaddr
|
|
|
|
structure to a pair of host name and service strings.
|
|
|
|
It is a replacement for and provides more flexibility than the
|
|
|
|
.Xr gethostbyaddr 3
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Xr getservbyport 3
|
|
|
|
functions and is the converse of the
|
|
|
|
.Xr getaddrinfo 3
|
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2007-02-28 21:28:33 +00:00
|
|
|
If a link-layer address is passed to
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo ,
|
|
|
|
its ASCII representation will be stored in
|
|
|
|
.Fa host .
|
|
|
|
The string pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.Fa serv
|
|
|
|
will be set to the empty string if non-NULL;
|
|
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
|
|
will always be ignored.
|
|
|
|
This is intended as a replacement for the legacy
|
|
|
|
.Xr link_ntoa 3
|
|
|
|
function.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
2005-01-23 16:02:48 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Li sockaddr
|
|
|
|
structure
|
|
|
|
.Fa sa
|
|
|
|
should point to either a
|
2007-02-28 21:28:33 +00:00
|
|
|
.Li sockaddr_in ,
|
2005-01-23 16:02:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Li sockaddr_in6
|
2007-02-28 21:28:33 +00:00
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
.Li sockaddr_dl
|
|
|
|
structure (for IPv4, IPv6 or link-layer respectively) that is
|
2005-01-23 16:02:48 +00:00
|
|
|
.Fa salen
|
|
|
|
bytes long.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The host and service names associated with
|
|
|
|
.Fa sa
|
|
|
|
are stored in
|
|
|
|
.Fa host
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fa serv
|
|
|
|
which have length parameters
|
|
|
|
.Fa hostlen
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Fa servlen .
|
|
|
|
The maximum value for
|
|
|
|
.Fa hostlen
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.Dv NI_MAXHOST
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
the maximum value for
|
|
|
|
.Fa servlen
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.Dv NI_MAXSERV ,
|
|
|
|
as defined by
|
|
|
|
.Aq Pa netdb.h .
|
|
|
|
If a length parameter is zero, no string will be stored.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, enough space must be provided to store the
|
|
|
|
host name or service string plus a byte for the NUL terminator.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
|
|
argument is formed by
|
|
|
|
.Tn OR Ns 'ing
|
|
|
|
the following values:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "NI_NUMERICHOSTXX"
|
|
|
|
.It Dv NI_NOFQDN
|
|
|
|
A fully qualified domain name is not required for local hosts.
|
|
|
|
The local part of the fully qualified domain name is returned instead.
|
|
|
|
.It Dv NI_NUMERICHOST
|
|
|
|
Return the address in numeric form, as if calling
|
|
|
|
.Xr inet_ntop 3 ,
|
|
|
|
instead of a host name.
|
|
|
|
.It Dv NI_NAMEREQD
|
|
|
|
A name is required.
|
|
|
|
If the host name cannot be found in DNS and this flag is set,
|
|
|
|
a non-zero error code is returned.
|
|
|
|
If the host name is not found and the flag is not set, the
|
|
|
|
address is returned in numeric form.
|
|
|
|
.It NI_NUMERICSERV
|
|
|
|
The service name is returned as a digit string representing the port number.
|
|
|
|
.It NI_DGRAM
|
|
|
|
Specifies that the service being looked up is a datagram
|
|
|
|
service, and causes
|
|
|
|
.Xr getservbyport 3
|
|
|
|
to be called with a second argument of
|
|
|
|
.Dq udp
|
|
|
|
instead of its default of
|
|
|
|
.Dq tcp .
|
|
|
|
This is required for the few ports (512\-514) that have different services
|
|
|
|
for
|
|
|
|
.Tn UDP
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.Tn TCP .
|
|
|
|
.El
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
This implementation allows numeric IPv6 address notation with scope identifier,
|
|
|
|
as documented in chapter 11 of draft-ietf-ipv6-scoping-arch-02.txt.
|
|
|
|
IPv6 link-local address will appear as a string like
|
|
|
|
.Dq Li fe80::1%ne0 .
|
|
|
|
Refer to
|
|
|
|
.Xr getaddrinfo 3
|
|
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
returns zero on success or one of the error codes listed in
|
|
|
|
.Xr gai_strerror 3
|
|
|
|
if an error occurs.
|
|
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
The following code tries to get a numeric host name, and service name,
|
|
|
|
for a given socket address.
|
|
|
|
Observe that there is no hardcoded reference to a particular address family.
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
|
|
|
|
char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST], sbuf[NI_MAXSERV];
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), sbuf,
|
|
|
|
sizeof(sbuf), NI_NUMERICHOST | NI_NUMERICSERV)) {
|
|
|
|
errx(1, "could not get numeric hostname");
|
|
|
|
/*NOTREACHED*/
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
printf("host=%s, serv=%s\en", hbuf, sbuf);
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The following version checks if the socket address has a reverse address mapping:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */
|
|
|
|
char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST];
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), NULL, 0,
|
|
|
|
NI_NAMEREQD)) {
|
|
|
|
errx(1, "could not resolve hostname");
|
|
|
|
/*NOTREACHED*/
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
printf("host=%s\en", hbuf);

The
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
function is defined by the
|
|
|
|
.St -p1003.1g-2000
|
|
|
|
draft specification and documented in
|
|
|
|
.Tn "RFC 2553" ,
|
|
|
|
.Dq Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6 .
|
|
|
|
.Sh CAVEATS
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
can return both numeric and FQDN forms of the address specified in
|
|
|
|
.Fa sa .
|
|
|
|
There is no return value that indicates whether the string returned in
|
|
|
|
.Fa host
|
|
|
|
is a result of binary to numeric-text translation (like
|
|
|
|
.Xr inet_ntop 3 ) ,
|
|
|
|
or is the result of a DNS reverse lookup.
|
|
|
|
Because of this, malicious parties could set up a PTR record as follows:
|
|
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR 10.1.1.1
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
and trick the caller of
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo
|
|
|
|
into believing that
|
|
|
|
.Fa sa
|
|
|
|
is
|
|
|
|
.Li 10.1.1.1
|
|
|
|
when it is actually
|
|
|
|
.Li 127.0.0.1 .
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
To prevent such attacks, the use of
|
|
|
|
.Dv NI_NAMEREQD
|
|
|
|
is recommended when the result of
|
|
|
|
.Fn getnameinfo

is used
|
|
|
|
for access control purposes:
