From b4455c6b8c8da6f0da39b8811736a58b7d363f47 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sperreault <> Date: Mon, 28 Apr 2014 21:38:59 +0000 Subject: Implement AI_ADDRCONFIG This is a getaddrinfo() flag that is defined thusly in RFC 3493: If the AI_ADDRCONFIG flag is specified, IPv4 addresses shall be returned only if an IPv4 address is configured on the local system, and IPv6 addresses shall be returned only if an IPv6 address is configured on the local system. The loopback address is not considered for this case as valid as a configured address. For example, when using the DNS, a query for AAAA records should occur only if the node has at least one IPv6 address configured (other than IPv6 loopback) and a query for A records should occur only if the node has at least one IPv4 address configured (other than the IPv4 loopback). The flag is set by default when hints is NULL. ok Eric Faurot, Jason McIntyre --- src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 | 17 ++++++++++++++--- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 b/src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 index db4417ab35..33270dbdf6 100644 --- a/src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 +++ b/src/lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -.\" $OpenBSD: getaddrinfo.3,v 1.54 2014/01/21 03:15:45 schwarze Exp $ +.\" $OpenBSD: getaddrinfo.3,v 1.55 2014/04/28 21:38:59 sperreault Exp $ .\" $KAME: getaddrinfo.3,v 1.36 2005/01/05 03:23:05 itojun Exp $ .\" .\" Copyright (C) 2004 Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
