Variables | |
int | h_errno |
void lwip_freeaddrinfo | ( | struct addrinfo * | ai | ) |
Frees one or more addrinfo structures returned by getaddrinfo(), along with any additional storage associated with those structures. If the ai_next field of the structure is not null, the entire list of structures is freed.
ai | struct addrinfo to free |
int lwip_getaddrinfo | ( | const char * | nodename, | |
const char * | servname, | |||
const struct addrinfo * | hints, | |||
struct addrinfo ** | res | |||
) |
Translates the name of a service location (for example, a host name) and/or a service name and returns a set of socket addresses and associated information to be used in creating a socket with which to address the specified service. Memory for the result is allocated internally and must be freed by calling lwip_freeaddrinfo()!
Due to a limitation in dns_gethostbyname, only the first address of a host is returned. Also, service names are not supported (only port numbers)!
nodename | descriptive name or address string of the host (may be NULL -> local address) | |
servname | port number as string of NULL | |
hints | structure containing input values that set socktype and protocol | |
res | pointer to a pointer where to store the result (set to NULL on failure) |
struct hostent* lwip_gethostbyname | ( | const char * | name | ) | [read] |
Returns an entry containing addresses of address family AF_INET for the host with name name. Due to dns_gethostbyname limitations, only one address is returned.
name | the hostname to resolve |
int lwip_gethostbyname_r | ( | const char * | name, | |
struct hostent * | ret, | |||
char * | buf, | |||
size_t | buflen, | |||
struct hostent ** | result, | |||
int * | h_errnop | |||
) |
Thread-safe variant of lwip_gethostbyname: instead of using a static buffer, this function takes buffer and errno pointers as arguments and uses these for the result.
name | the hostname to resolve | |
ret | pre-allocated struct where to store the result | |
buf | pre-allocated buffer where to store additional data | |
buflen | the size of buf | |
result | pointer to a hostent pointer that is set to ret on success and set to zero on error | |
h_errnop | pointer to an int where to store errors (instead of modifying the global h_errno) |
int h_errno |
h_errno is exported in netdb.h for access by applications.
