| 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. | ||
