.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These routines are used for making, sending and interpreting
|
|
query and reply messages with Internet domain name servers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
State information is kept in
|
|
.Fa statp
|
|
and is used to control the behavior of these functions.
|
|
.Fa statp
|
|
should be set to all zeros prior to the first call to any of these functions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn res_init ,
|
|
.Fn res_isourserver ,
|
|
.Fn fp_nquery ,
|
|
.Fn p_query ,
|
|
.Fn hostalias ,
|
|
.Fn res_query ,
|
|
.Fn res_search ,
|
|
.Fn res_querydomain ,
|
|
.Fn res_mkquery ,
|
|
.Fn res_send ,
|
|
.Fn res_update ,
|
|
.Fn res_close
|
|
.\" and
|
|
.\" .Fn herror
|
|
are deprecated and are supplied for compatability with old source
|
|
code.
|
|
They use global configuration and state information that is
|
|
kept in the structure
|
|
.Ft _res
|
|
rather than that referenced through
|
|
.Ft statp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Most of the values in
|
|
.Ft statp
|
|
and
|
|
.Ft _res
|
|
are initialized on the first call to
|
|
.Fn res_ninit
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
|
to reasonable defaults and can be ignored.
|
|
Options
|
|
stored in
|
|
.Ft statp->options
|
|
/
|
|
.Ft _res.options
|
|
are defined in
|
|
.Pa resolv.h
|
|
and are as follows.
|
|
Options are stored as a simple bit mask containing the bitwise
|
|
.Dq OR
|
|
of the options enabled.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width "RES_USE_INET6"
|
|
.It Dv RES_INIT
|
|
True if the initial name server address and default domain name are
|
|
initialized (i.e.,
|
|
.Fn res_ninit
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
|
has been called).
|
|
.It Dv RES_DEBUG
|
|
Print debugging messages.
|
|
.It Dv RES_AAONLY
|
|
Accept authoritative answers only.
|
|
Should continue until it finds an authoritative answer or finds an error.
|
|
Currently this is not implemented.
|
|
.It Dv RES_USEVC
|
|
Use TCP connections for queries instead of UDP datagrams.
|
|
.It Dv RES_STAYOPEN
|
|
Used with
|
|
.Dv RES_USEVC
|
|
to keep the TCP connection open between queries.
|
|
This is useful only in programs that regularly do many queries.
|
|
UDP should be the normal mode used.
|
|
.It Dv RES_IGNTC
|
|
Ignore truncation errors, i.e., don't retry with TCP.
|
|
.It Dv RES_RECURSE
|
|
Set the recursion-desired bit in queries.
|
|
This is the default.
|
|
(\c
|
|
.Fn res_nsend
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
|
does not do iterative queries and expects the name server
|
|
to handle recursion.)
|
|
.It Dv RES_DEFNAMES
|
|
If set,
|
|
.Fn res_nsearch
|
|
/
|
|
.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_nsearch
|
|
/
|
|
.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.
|
|
.It Dv RES_USE_INET6
|
|
Enables support for IPv6-only applications.
|
|
This causes IPv4 addresses to be returned as an IPv4 mapped address.
|
|
For example, 10.1.1.1 will be returned as ::ffff:10.1.1.1.
|
|
The option is meaningful with certain kernel configuration only.
|
|
.It Dv RES_USE_EDNS0
|
|
Enables support for OPT pseudo-RR for EDNS0 extension.
|
|
With the option, resolver code will attach OPT pseudo-RR into DNS queries,
|
|
to inform of our receive buffer size.
|
|
The option will allow DNS servers to take advantage of non-default receive
|
|
buffer size, and to send larger replies.
|
|
DNS query packets with EDNS0 extension is not compatible with
|
|
non-EDNS0 DNS servers.
|
|
.It Dv RES_NOALIASES
|
|
This option turns off the user level aliasing feature controlled by
|
|
the
|
|
.Ev HOSTALIASES
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
Network daemons should set this option.
|
|
.It Dv RES_ROTATE
|
|
This options causes the
|
|
.Fn res_nsend
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
|
to rotate the list of nameservers in
|
|
.Fa statp->nsaddr_list
|
|
/
|
|
.Fa _res.nsaddr_list .
|
|
.It Dv RES_KEEPTSIG
|
|
This option causes
|
|
.Fn res_nsendsigned
|
|
to leave the message unchanged after TSIG verification; otherwise the TSIG
|
|
record would be removed and the header updated.
|
|
.It Dv RES_NOTLDQUERY
|
|
This option causes
|
|
.Fn res_nsearch
|
|
to not attempt to resolve an unqualified name as if it were a top level
|
|
domain (TLD).
|
|
This option can cause problems if the site has "localhost" as a TLD rather
|
|
than having localhost on one or more elements of the search list.
|
|
This option has no effect if neither
|
|
.Dv RES_DEFNAMES
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv RES_DNSRCH
|
|
is set.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn res_ninit
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
|
routine
|
|
reads the configuration file (if any; see
|
|
.Xr resolv.conf 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 .
|
|
This environment variable may contain several blank-separated
|
|
tokens if you wish to override the
|
|
.Fa search list
|
|
on a per-process basis.
|
|
This is similar to the
|
|
.Fa search
|
|
command in the configuration file.
|
|
Another environment variable
|
|
.Ev RES_OPTIONS
|
|
can be set to override certain internal resolver options which are otherwise
|
|
set by changing fields in the
|
|
.Ft statp
|
|
/
|
|
.Ft _res
|
|
structure or are inherited from the configuration file's
|
|
.Fa options
|
|
command.
|
|
The syntax of the
|
|
.Ev RES_OPTIONS
|
|
environment variable is explained in
|
|
.Xr resolv.conf 5 .
|
|
Initialization normally occurs on the first call
|
|
to one of the other resolver routines.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In
|
|
.Nx
|
|
the initialization code also sets up a
|
|
.Xr kqueue 2
|
|
and creates a
|
|
.Xr kevent 2
|
|
watching a file descriptor that points to the resolver file.
|
|
Every resolver function calls the internal function
|
|
.Fn __res_check
|
|
which checks for a new
|
|
.Xr kevent 2
|
|
related to the
|
|
.Xr resolv.conf 5
|
|
file, and reloads the file if necessary.
|
|
This does not work if the file is accessed through a symlink and the symlink
|
|
changes to point to a different file.
|
|
To fix the symlink issue one could add a system call per resolver call to
|
|
get the current time, and reload every so often.
|
|
This is not done currently, but it is under consideration.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The memory referred to by
|
|
.Ft statp
|
|
must be set to all zeros prior to the first call to
|
|
.Fn res_ninit .
|
|
.Fn res_ndestroy
|
|
should be call to free memory allocated by
|
|
.Fn res_ninit
|
|
after last use.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn res_nquery
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_query
|
|
functions provides interfaces to the server query mechanism.
|
|
They 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.
|
|
.Fn res_nquery
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_query
|
|
return \-1 on error or the length of the answer.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn res_nsearch
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_search
|
|
routines make a query and awaits a response like
|
|
.Fn res_nquery
|
|
/
|
|
.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 length of the first successful reply which is stored in
|
|
.Ft answer
|
|
or \-1 on error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The remaining routines are lower-level routines used by
|
|
.Fn res_nquery
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_query .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn res_nmkquery
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_mkquery
|
|
functions
|
|
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_nsend
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_nsendsigned
|
|
routines
|
|
sends a pre-formatted query and returns an answer.
|
|
It will call
|
|
.Fn res_ninit
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_init
|
|
if
|
|
.Dv RES_INIT
|
|
is not set, send the query to the local name server, and
|
|
handle timeouts and retries.
|
|
Additionally,
|
|
.Fn res_nsendsigned
|
|
will use TSIG signatures to add authentication to the query and verify the
|
|
response.
|
|
In this case, only one nameserver will be contacted.
|
|
The length of the reply message is returned, or \-1 if there were errors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fn res_nquery
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_query ,
|
|
.Fn res_nsearch
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_search
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn res_nsend
|
|
/
|
|
.Fn res_send
|
|
return a length that may be bigger than
|
|
.Fa anslen .
|
|
In that case the query should be retried with a bigger buffer.
|
|
NOTE the answer to the second query may be larger still so supplying
|
|
a buffer that bigger that the answer returned by the previous
|
|
query is recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Fa answer
|
|
MUST be big enough to receive a maximum UDP response from the server or
|
|
parts of the answer will be silently discarded.
|
|
The default maximum UDP response size is 512 bytes.
