Lb libc
Global configuration and state information that is used by the
resolver routines is kept in the structure
_res
Most of the values have reasonable defaults and can be ignored.
Options
stored in
_res.options
are defined in
#include <resolv.h>
and are as follows.
Options are stored as a simple bit mask containing the bitwise ``or''
of the options enabled.
The
res_init ();
routine
reads the configuration file (if any; see
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
LOCALDOMAIN
This environment variable may contain several blank-separated
tokens if you wish to override the
search list
on a per-process basis.
This is similar to the
search
command in the configuration file.
Another environment variable
``RES_OPTIONS
''
can be set to
override certain internal resolver options which are otherwise
set by changing fields in the
_res
structure or are inherited from the configuration file's
options
command.
The syntax of the
``RES_OPTIONS
''
environment variable is explained in
resolver(5).
Initialization normally occurs on the first call
to one of the following routines.
The
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.
The
res_search ();
routine makes a query and awaits a response like
res_query (,);
but in addition, it implements the default and search rules
controlled by the
RES_DEFNAMES
and
RES_DNSRCH
options.
It returns the first successful reply.
The remaining routines are lower-level routines used by
res_query (.);
The
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
QUERY
but can be any of the query types defined in
In arpa/nameser.h .
The domain name for the query is given by
Fa dname .
The
Fa newrr_in
argument
is currently unused but is intended for making update messages.
The
res_send ();
routine
sends a pre-formatted query and returns an answer.
It will call
res_init ();
if
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.
The
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
the beginning of the message and the list ends with
NULL
The limit to the array is specified by
Fa lastdnptr .
A side effect of
dn_comp ();
is to update the list of pointers for
labels inserted into the message
as the name is compressed.
If
Fa dnptr
is
NULL
names are not compressed.
If
Fa lastdnptr
is
NULL
the list of labels is not updated.
The
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.
The
dn_skipname ();
function skips over a compressed domain name, which starts at a location
pointed to by
Fa comp_dn .
The compressed name is contained in a query or reply message;
Fa eom
is a pointer to the end of the message.
The size of compressed name is returned or -1 if there was
an error.
The
ns_get16 ();
function gets a 16-bit quantity from a buffer pointed to by
Fa src .
The
ns_get32 ();
function gets a 32-bit quantity from a buffer pointed to by
Fa src .
The
ns_put16 ();
function puts a 16-bit quantity
Fa src
to a buffer pointed to by
Fa dst .
The
ns_put32 ();
function puts a 32-bit quantity
Fa src
to a buffer pointed to by
Fa dst .
The
res_mkquery (,);
res_search (,);
and
res_query ();
functions return the size of the response on success, or -1 if an
error occurs.
The integer
Vt h_errno
may be checked to determine the reason for error.
