NAME¶
getdns_service, getdns_service_sync -- getdns lookup of a service
LIBRARY¶
DNS Resolver library (libgetdns, -lgetdns)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <getdns.h>
getdns_return_t
getdns_service (getdns_context *context,
getdns_dict *extensions,
void *userarg,
getdns_transaction_t *transaction_id,
getdns_callback_t callbackfn)
getdns_return_t
getdns_service_sync (getdns_context *context,
getdns_dict *extensions,
getdns_dict **response)
DESCRIPTION¶
The getdns_service (3) and getdns_service_sync functions provide public entry points into the getdns API library to retrieve the SRV information given a name.
context A pointer to the previously created DNS context that is to be used with this DNS request. see getdns_context (3)
name the service name to resolve
extensions extensions for this request, NULL if no extensions, see libgetdns (3) for a detailed description of extensions
userarg returned to the callback function untouched, can be NULL
transaction_id populated by the API and used to identify the callback (for example to getdns_cancel_callback), can be NULL, set to 0 if the function fails
callbackfn non-NULL pointer to a callback function defined by the application, typically used to process the response. Only the asynchronous signature accepts a callback function, the synchronous signature does not include a callback. See libgetdns (3) for a more detailed discussion of callback functions.
response A getdns_dict type is returned in response and always contains at least three names: replies_full (a list containing the DNS response as binary data), replies_tree (a list containing the parsed DNS response data) and status (an int). The storage associated with this must be freed by a call to getdns_free_sync_request_memory (3).
RETURN VALUES¶
Upon successful completion the functions return GETDNS_RETURN_GOOD , otherwise the following error values are returned:
GETDNS_RETURN_BAD_CONTEXT if the context pointer is invalid or the context has internal deficiencies
GETDNS_RETURN_BAD_DOMAIN_NAME if the domain name passed to the function is invalid
GETDNS_RETURN_EXTENSION_MISFORMAT if the data type specified in one or more of the extensions does not match the specifications
GETDNS_RETURN_GENERIC_ERROR if some problem was encountered in the function not addressed by one of the more specific return codes
GETDNS_RETURN_INVALID PARAMETER if one or more parameters has an invalid value
GETDNS_RETURN_MEMORY_ERROR if unable to allocate the memory required
GETDNS_RETURN_NO_SUCH_EXTENSION if one or more of the strings specified in the extensions are not valid
The values of status included in the response parameter are:
GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_GOOD if at least one response was returned
GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_NO_NAME if queries for the name yielded all negative responses
GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_ALL_TIMEOUT if all queries for the name timed out
GETDNS_RESPSTATUS_NO_SECURE_ANSWERS if only secure replies accepted (per context) and at least one response was received but no DNS responses were secure through DNSSEC
For a more detailed explanation of the response object see libgetdns (3)
