.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.LP
|
|
The getdns_address(3) and getdns_address_sync functions provide public entry points into the getdns API library to retrieve the address given a host name. It always returns both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I context
|
|
.RP
|
|
see getdns_context (3)
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I name
|
|
.RP
|
|
the host name to resolve to an address (note that an IP address is considered invalid)
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I extensions
|
|
.RP
|
|
extensions for this request, NULL if no extensions, see libgetdns (3) for a detailed description of extensions
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I userarg
|
|
.RP
|
|
returned to the callback function untouched, can be NULL
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I transaction_id
|
|
.RP
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I callbackfn
|
|
.RP
|
|
pointer to a callback function defined by the application, typically used to process the response, may not be NULL. Only the asynchronous signature accepts a callback function, the synchronous signature does not include a callback.
|
|
|
|
.HP 3
|
|
.I response
|
|
.RP
|
|
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).
|
|
|
|
.HP
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUES"

|
if the context pointer is invalid
