-.Sh LIBRARY -.Lb libc -.Sh SYNOPSIS -.In sys/types.h -.In sys/socket.h -.In netdb.h -.Ft int -.Fn getaddrinfo "const char *nodename" "const char *servname" \ -"const struct addrinfo *hints" "struct addrinfo **res" -.Ft void -.Fn freeaddrinfo "struct addrinfo *ai" -.Ft "char *" -.Fn gai_strerror "int ecode" -.\" -.Sh DESCRIPTION -The -.Fn getaddrinfo -function is defined for protocol-independent nodename-to-address translation. -It performs the functionality of -.Xr gethostbyname 3 -and -.Xr getservbyname 3 , -but in a more sophisticated manner. -.Pp -The -.Li addrinfo -structure is defined as a result of including the -.Aq Pa netdb.h -header: -.Bd -literal -offset -struct addrinfo { - int ai_flags; /* AI_PASSIVE, AI_CANONNAME, AI_NUMERICHOST */ - int ai_family; /* PF_xxx */ - int ai_socktype; /* SOCK_xxx */ - int ai_protocol; /* 0 or IPPROTO_xxx for IPv4 and IPv6 */ - size_t ai_addrlen; /* length of ai_addr */ - char *ai_canonname; /* canonical name for nodename */ - struct sockaddr *ai_addr; /* binary address */ - struct addrinfo *ai_next; /* next structure in linked list */ -}; -.Ed -.Pp -The -.Fa nodename -and -.Fa servname -arguments are pointers to null-terminated strings or -.Dv NULL . -One or both of these two arguments must be a -.Pf non Dv -NULL -pointer. -In the normal client scenario, both the -.Fa nodename -and -.Fa servname -are specified. -In the normal server scenario, only the -.Fa servname -is specified. -A -.Pf non Dv -NULL -.Fa nodename -string can be either a node name or a numeric host address string -(i.e., a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or an IPv6 hex address). -A -.Pf non Dv -NULL -.Fa servname -string can be either a service name or a decimal port number. -.Pp -The caller can optionally pass an -.Li addrinfo -structure, pointed to by the third argument, -to provide hints concerning the type of socket that the caller supports. -In this -.Fa hints -structure all members other than -.Fa ai_flags , -.Fa ai_family , -.Fa ai_socktype , -and -.Fa ai_protocol -must be zero or a -.Dv NULL -pointer. -A value of -.Dv PF_UNSPEC -for -.Fa ai_family -means the caller will accept any protocol family. -A value of 0 for -.Fa ai_socktype -means the caller will accept any socket type. -A value of 0 for -.Fa ai_protocol -means the caller will accept any protocol. -For example, if the caller handles only TCP and not UDP, then the -.Fa ai_socktype -member of the hints structure should be set to -.Dv SOCK_STREAM -when -.Fn getaddrinfo -is called. -If the caller handles only IPv4 and not IPv6, then the -.Fa ai_family -member of the -.Fa hints -structure should be set to -.Dv PF_INET -when -.Fn getaddrinfo -is called. -If the third argument to -.Fn getaddrinfo -is a -.Dv NULL -pointer, this is the same as if the caller had filled in an -.Li addrinfo -structure initialized to zero with -.Fa ai_family -set to -.Dv PF_UNSPEC . -.Pp -Upon successful return a pointer to a linked list of one or more -.Li addrinfo -structures is returned through the final argument. -The caller can process each -.Li addrinfo -structure in this list by following the -.Fa ai_next -pointer, until a -.Dv NULL -pointer is encountered. -In each returned -.Li addrinfo -structure the three members -.Fa ai_family , -.Fa ai_socktype , -and -.Fa ai_protocol -are the corresponding arguments for a call to the -.Fn socket -function. -In each -.Li addrinfo -structure the -.Fa ai_addr -member points to a filled-in socket address structure whose length is -specified by the -.Fa ai_addrlen -member. -.Pp -If the -.Dv AI_PASSIVE -bit is set in the -.Fa ai_flags -member of the -.Fa hints -structure, then the caller plans to use the returned socket address -structure in a call to -.Fn bind . -In this case, if the -.Fa nodename -argument is a -.Dv NULL -pointer, then the IP address portion of the socket -address structure will be set to -.Dv INADDR_ANY -for an IPv4 address or -.Dv IN6ADDR_ANY_INIT -for an IPv6 address. -.Pp -If the -.Dv AI_PASSIVE -bit is not set in the -.Fa ai_flags -member of the -.Fa hints -structure, then the returned socket address structure will be ready for a -call to -.Fn connect -(for a connection-oriented protocol) -or either -.Fn connect , -.Fn sendto , -or -.Fn sendmsg -(for a connectionless protocol). -In this case, if the -.Fa nodename -argument is a -.Dv NULL -pointer, then the IP address portion of the -socket address structure will be set to the loopback address. -.Pp -If the -.Dv AI_CANONNAME -bit is set in the -.Fa ai_flags -member of the -.Fa hints -structure, then upon successful return the -.Fa ai_canonname -member of the first -.Li addrinfo -structure in the linked list will point to a null-terminated string -containing the canonical name of the specified -.Fa nodename . -.Pp -If the -.Dv AI_NUMERICHOST -bit is set in the -.Fa ai_flags -member of the -.Fa hints -structure, then a -.Pf non Dv -NULL -.Fa nodename -string must be a numeric host address string. -Otherwise an error of -.Dv EAI_NONAME -is returned. -This flag prevents any type of name resolution service (e.g., the DNS) -from being called. -.Pp -The arguments to -.Fn getaddrinfo -must be sufficiently consistent and unambiguous. -Here are some problem cases you may encounter: -.Bl -bullet -.It -.Fn getaddrinfo -will fail if the members in the -.Fa hints -structure are not consistent. -For example, for internet address families, -.Fn getaddrinfo -will fail if you specify -.Dv SOCK_STREAM -to -.Fa ai_socktype -while you specify -.Dv IPPROTO_UDP -to -.Fa ai_protocol . -.It -If you specify a -.Fa servname -which is defined only for certain -.Fa ai_socktype , -.Fn getaddrinfo -will fail because the arguments are not consistent. -For example, -.Fn getaddrinfo -will return an error if you ask for -.Dq Li tftp -service on -.Dv SOCK_STREAM . -.It -For internet address families, if you specify -.Fa servname -while you set -.Fa ai_socktype -to -.Dv SOCK_RAW , -.Fn getaddrinfo -will fail, because service names are not defined for the internet -.Dv SOCK_RAW -space. -.It -If you specify numeric -.Fa servname , -while leaving -.Fa ai_socktype -and -.Fa ai_protocol -unspecified, -.Fn getaddrinfo -will fail. -This is because the numeric -.Fa servname -does not identify any socket type, and -.Fn getaddrinfo -is not allowed to glob the argument in such case. -.El -.Pp -All of the information returned by -.Fn getaddrinfo -is dynamically allocated: -the -.Li addrinfo -structures, the socket address structures, and canonical node name -strings pointed to by the addrinfo structures. -To return this information to the system the function -.Fn freeaddrinfo -is called. -The -.Fa addrinfo -structure pointed to by the -.Fa ai argument -is freed, along with any dynamic storage pointed to by the structure. -This operation is repeated until a -.Dv NULL -.Fa ai_next -pointer is encountered. -.Pp -To aid applications in printing error messages based on the -.Dv EAI_xxx -codes returned by -.Fn getaddrinfo , -.Fn gai_strerror -is defined. -The argument is one of the -.Dv EAI_xxx -values defined earlier and the return value points to a string describing -the error. -If the argument is not one of the -.Dv EAI_xxx -values, the function still returns a pointer to a string whose contents -indicate an unknown error. -.\" -.Sh EXTENSIONS -This implementation supports numeric IPv6 address notation with the -experimental scope identifier. -By appending a percent sign and scope identifier to the address, you -can specify the value of the -.Li sin6_scope_id -field of the socket address. -This makes management of scoped address easier, -and allows cut-and-paste input of scoped addresses. -.Pp -At the moment the code supports only link-local addresses in this format. -The scope identifier is hardcoded to name of hardware interface associated -with the link, -(such as -.Li ne0 ) . -For example, -.Dq Li fe80::1%ne0 , -which means -.Do -.Li fe80::1 -on the link associated with the -.Li ne0 -interface -.Dc . -.Pp -This implementation is still very experimental and non-standard. -The current implementation assumes a one-to-one relationship between -interfaces and links, which is not necessarily true according to the -specification. -.\" -.Sh EXAMPLES -The following code tries to connect to -.Dq Li www.kame.net -service -.Dq Li http . -via stream socket. -It loops through all the addresses available, regardless of the address family. -If the destination resolves to an IPv4 address, it will use an -.Dv AF_INET -socket. -Similarly, if it resolves to IPv6, an -.Dv AF_INET6 -socket is used. -Observe that there is no hardcoded reference to particular address family. -The code works even if -.Fn getaddrinfo -returns addresses that are not IPv4/v6. -.Bd -literal
