.Dd Jun 30, 2000 .Dt LWRES_GETNAMEINFO 3 .Os BIND9 9 .Sh NAME .Nm lwres_getnameinfo .Nd lightweight resolver socket address structure to hostname and service name .Sh SYNOPSIS .Fd #include <lwres/netdb.h> .Fd .Ft int .Fo lwres_getnameinfo .Fa "const struct sockaddr *sa" .Fa "size_t salen" .Fa "char *host" .Fa "size_t hostlen" .Fa "char *serv" .Fa "size_t servlen" .Fa "int flags" .Fc .Sh DESCRIPTION
p This function is equivalent to the .Xr getnameinfo 3 function defined in RFC2133. .Fn lwres_getnameinfo returns the hostname for the .Dv "struct sockaddr" .Fa sa which is .Fa salen bytes long. The hostname is of length .Fa hostlen and is returned via .Fa *host. The maximum length of the hostname is 1025 bytes: .Li NI_MAXHOST .
p The name of the service associated with the port number in .Fa sa is returned in .Fa *serv. It is .Fa servlen bytes long. The maximum length of the service name is .Li NI_MAXSERV - 32 bytes.
p The .Fa flags argument sets the following bits: l -tag -width NI_NUMERICSERV t Li NI_NOFQDN A fully qualified domain name is not required for local hosts. The local part of the fully qualified domain name is returned instead. t Li NI_NUMERICHOST Return the address in numeric form, as if calling inet_ntop(), instead of a host name. t Li NI_NAMEREQD A name is required. If the hostname cannot be found in the DNS and this flag is set, a non-zero error code is returned. If the hostname is not found and the flag is not set, the address is returned in numeric form. t Li NI_NUMERICSERV The service name is returned as a digit string representing the port number. t Li NI_DGRAM Specifies that the service being looked up is a datagram service, and causes getservbyport() to be called with a second argument of "udp" instead of its default of "tcp". This is required for the few ports (512-514) that have different services for UDP and TCP. .El

.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn lwres_getnameinfo
returns 0 on success or a non-zero error code if an error occurs.
The error codes below were invented by the ISC/Nominum. They
should be defined in RFC2133 before getting documented here.
XXXJR 28/6/00
The error codes are:
Bl -tag -width ENI_NOSERVNAME
It Li ENI_NOSOCKET
there was no socket in
Fa sa
It Li ENI_NOSERVNAME
no service name was found
It Li ENI_NOHOSTNAME
no hostname was found
It Li ENI_MEMORY
memory could not be allocated
It Li ENI_SYSTEM
a system error occurred
It Li ENI_FAMILY
an unsupported protocol family was requested
It Li ENI_SALEN
Fa salen
is the wrong number of bytes for the address in
Fa sa .

RFC2133 fails to define what the nonzero return values of
.Xr getnameinfo 3
are.
