52 | .\" | ||
53 | .Sh DESCRIPTION | ||
54 | The | ||
55 | .Fn getnameinfo | ||
56 | function is defined for protocol-independent address-to-nodename translation. | ||
57 | Its functionality is a reverse conversion of | ||
58 | .Xr getaddrinfo 3 , | ||
59 | and implements similar functionality with | ||
60 | .Xr gethostbyaddr 3 | ||
61 | and | ||
62 | .Xr getservbyport 3 | ||
63 | in more sophisticated manner. | ||
64 | .Pp | ||
65 | This function looks up an IP address and port number provided by the | ||
66 | caller in the DNS and system-specific database, and returns text | ||
67 | strings for both in buffers provided by the caller. | ||
68 | The function indicates successful completion by a zero return value; | ||
69 | a non-zero return value indicates failure. | ||
70 | .Pp | ||
71 | The first argument, | ||
72 | .Fa sa , | ||
73 | points to either a | ||
74 | .Li sockaddr_in | ||
75 | structure (for IPv4) or a | ||
76 | .Li sockaddr_in6 | ||
77 | structure (for IPv6) that holds the IP address and port number. | ||
78 | The | ||
79 | .Fa salen | ||
80 | argument gives the length of the | ||
81 | .Li sockaddr_in | ||
82 | or | ||
83 | .Li sockaddr_in6 | ||
84 | structure. | ||
85 | .Pp | ||
86 | The function returns the nodename associated with the IP address in | ||
87 | the buffer pointed to by the | ||
88 | .Fa host | ||
89 | argument. | ||
90 | The caller provides the size of this buffer via the | ||
91 | .Fa hostlen | ||
92 | argument. | ||
93 | The service name associated with the port number is returned in the buffer | ||
94 | pointed to by | ||
95 | .Fa serv , | ||
96 | and the | ||
97 | .Fa servlen | ||
98 | argument gives the length of this buffer. | ||
99 | The caller specifies not to return either string by providing a zero | ||
100 | value for the | ||
101 | .Fa hostlen | ||
102 | or | ||
103 | .Fa servlen | ||
104 | arguments. | ||
105 | Otherwise, the caller must provide buffers large enough to hold the | ||
106 | nodename and the service name, including the terminating null characters. | ||
107 | .Pp | ||
108 | Unfortunately most systems do not provide constants that specify the | ||
109 | maximum size of either a fully-qualified domain name or a service name. | ||
110 | Therefore to aid the application in allocating buffers for these two | ||
111 | returned strings the following constants are defined in | ||
112 | .Aq Pa netdb.h : | ||
113 | .Bd -literal -offset | ||
114 | #define NI_MAXHOST MAXHOSTNAMELEN | ||
115 | #define NI_MAXSERV 32 | ||
116 | .Ed | ||
117 | .Pp | ||
118 | The first value is actually defined as the constant | ||
119 | .Dv MAXDNAME | ||
120 | in recent versions of BIND's | ||
121 | .Aq Pa arpa/nameser.h | ||
122 | header (older versions of BIND define this constant to be 256) | ||
123 | and the second is a guess based on the services listed in the current | ||
124 | Assigned Numbers RFC. | ||
125 | .Pp | ||
126 | The final argument is a | ||
127 | .Fa flag | ||
128 | that changes the default actions of this function. | ||
129 | By default the fully-qualified domain name (FQDN) for the host is | ||
130 | looked up in the DNS and returned. | ||
131 | If the flag bit | ||
132 | .Dv NI_NOFQDN | ||
133 | is set, only the nodename portion of the FQDN is returned for local hosts. | ||
134 | .Pp | ||
135 | If the | ||
136 | .Fa flag | ||
137 | bit | ||
138 | .Dv NI_NUMERICHOST | ||
139 | is set, or if the host's name cannot be located in the DNS, | ||
140 | the numeric form of the host's address is returned instead of its name | ||
141 | .Po | ||
142 | e.g., by calling | ||
143 | .Fn inet_ntop | ||
144 | instead of | ||
145 | .Fn gethostbyaddr | ||
146 | .Pc . | ||
147 | If the | ||
148 | .Fa flag | ||
149 | bit | ||
150 | .Dv NI_NAMEREQD | ||
151 | is set, an error is returned if the host's name cannot be located in the DNS. | ||
152 | .Pp | ||
153 | If the flag bit | ||
154 | .Dv NI_NUMERICSERV | ||
155 | is set, the numeric form of the service address is returned | ||
156 | .Pq e.g., its port number | ||
157 | instead of its name. | ||
158 | The two | ||
159 | .Dv NI_NUMERICxxx | ||
160 | flags are required to support the | ||
161 | .Fl n | ||
162 | flag that many commands provide. | ||
163 | .Pp | ||
164 | A fifth flag bit, | ||
165 | .Dv NI_DGRAM , | ||
166 | specifies that the service is a datagram service, and causes | ||
167 | .Fn getservbyport | ||
168 | to be called with a second argument of | ||
169 | .Qq udp | ||
170 | instead of its default of | ||
171 | .Qq tcp . | ||
172 | This is required for the few ports (512-514) | ||
173 | that have different services for UDP and TCP. | ||
174 | .Pp | ||
175 | These | ||
176 | .Dv NI_xxx | ||
177 | flags are defined in | ||
178 | .Aq Pa netdb.h . | ||
179 | .\" | ||
180 | .Ss Extension for scoped IPv6 address | ||
181 | The implementation allows experimental numeric IPv6 address notation with | ||
182 | scope identifier. | ||
183 | IPv6 link-local address will appear as string like | ||
184 | .Dq Li fe80::1%ne0 . | ||
185 | Refer to | ||
186 | .Xr getaddrinfo 3 | ||
187 | for the notation. | ||
188 | .\" | ||
189 | .Sh EXAMPLES | ||
190 | The following code tries to get numeric hostname, and service name, | ||
191 | for given socket address. | ||
192 | Observe that there is no hardcoded reference to particular address family. | ||
193 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
194 | struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */ | ||
195 | char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST], sbuf[NI_MAXSERV]; | ||
196 | |||
197 | if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), sbuf, | ||
198 | sizeof(sbuf), NI_NUMERICHOST | NI_NUMERICSERV)) { | ||
199 | errx(1, "could not get numeric hostname"); | ||
200 | /*NOTREACHED*/ | ||
201 | } | ||
202 | printf("host=%s, serv=%s\en", hbuf, sbuf); | ||
203 | .Ed | ||
204 | .Pp | ||
205 | The following version checks if the socket address has reverse address mapping. | ||
206 | .Bd -literal -offset indent | ||
207 | struct sockaddr *sa; /* input */ | ||
208 | char hbuf[NI_MAXHOST]; | ||
209 | |||
210 | if (getnameinfo(sa, sa->sa_len, hbuf, sizeof(hbuf), NULL, 0, | ||
211 | NI_NAMEREQD)) { | ||
212 | errx(1, "could not resolve hostname"); | ||
213 | /*NOTREACHED*/ | ||
214 | } | ||
215 | printf("host=%s\en", hbuf); | ||
216 | .Ed | ||
217 | .\" | ||
218 | .Sh DIAGNOSTICS | ||
219 | The function indicates successful completion by a zero return value; | ||
220 | a non-zero return value indicates failure. | ||
221 | Error codes are as below: | ||
222 | .Bl -tag -width Er | ||
223 | .It Dv EAI_AGAIN | ||
224 | The name could not be resolved at this time. | ||
225 | Future attempts may succeed. | ||
226 | .It Dv EAI_BADFLAGS | ||
227 | The flags had an invalid value. | ||
228 | .It Dv EAI_FAIL | ||
229 | A non-recoverable error occurred. | ||
230 | .It Dv EAI_FAMILY | ||
231 | The address family was not recognized or the address length was invalid | ||
232 | for the specified family. | ||
233 | .It Dv EAI_MEMORY | ||
234 | There was a memory allocation failure. | ||
235 | .It Dv EAI_NONAME | ||
236 | The name does not resolve for the supplied parameters. | ||
237 | .Dv NI_NAMEREQD | ||
238 | is set and the host's name cannot be located, | ||
239 | or both nodename and servname were null. | ||
240 | .It Dv EAI_SYSTEM | ||
241 | A system error occurred. | ||
242 | The error code can be found in errno. | ||
