DNS

- -

-IPv4 name resolution functions -dns.toip -and -dns.tohostname -return all information obtained from -the resolver in a table of the form: -

- -

-resolved4 = { - name = canonic-name, - alias = alias-list, - ip = ip-address-list -} -

- -

-Note that the alias list can be empty. -

- -

-The more general name resolution function -dns.getaddrinfo, which -supports both IPv6 and IPv4, -returns all information obtained from -the resolver in a table of the form: -

- -

-resolved6 = { - [1] = { - family = family-name-1, - addr = address-1 - }, - ... - [n] = { - family = family-name-n, - addr = address-n - } -} -

- -

-Here, family contains the string "inet" for IPv4 -addresses, and "inet6" for IPv6 addresses. -

- - - -

-socket.dns.getaddrinfo(address) -

- -

-Converts from host name to address. -

- -

-Address can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address or host name. -
