## Detailed Description

Asynchronous and cancellable DNS resolver.

Resolver provides cancellable synchronous and asynchronous DNS resolution, for hostnames (lookup_by_address(), lookup_by_name() and their async variants) and SRV (service) records (lookup_service()).

NetworkAddress and NetworkService provide wrappers around Resolver functionality that also implement SocketConnectable, making it easy to connect to a remote host/service.

static GType Gio::Resolver::get_type | ( |  | ) |

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

GResolver* Gio::Resolver::gobj | ( |  | ) |

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

const GResolver* Gio::Resolver::gobj | ( |  | ) | const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

GResolver* Gio::Resolver::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Glib::ustring Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_address | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InetAddress >& | address,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Synchronously reverse-resolves address to determine its associated hostname.

If the DNS resolution fails, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError.

If cancellable is non-`0`, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-`0`) will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  address | The address to reverse-resolve.
  cancellable | A Cancellable, or `0`.

Returns
  A hostname (either ASCII-only, or in ASCII-encoded form), or `0` on error.

Glib::ustring Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_address | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InetAddress >& | address | ) |

A lookup_by_address() convenience overload.

void Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_address_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InetAddress >& | address,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Begins asynchronously reverse-resolving an address to determine its associated hostname, and eventually calls callback, which must call lookup_by_address_finish() to get the final result.

Parameters

  address | The address to reverse-resolve.
  slot | A callback slot to call after the resolution completes.
  cancellable | A Cancellable object which can be used to cancel the operation.

void Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_address_async | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< InetAddress >& | address,
|  | const SlotAsyncReady& | slot
| ) |  |

Begins asynchronously reverse-resolving an address to determine its associated hostname, and eventually calls callback, which must call lookup_by_address_finish() to get the final result.

Parameters

  address | The address to reverse-resolve.
  slot | A callback slot to call after the resolution completes.

Glib::ustring Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_address_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

Retrieves the result of a previous call to g_resolver_lookup_by_address_async().

If the DNS resolution failed, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError. If the operation was cancelled, error will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  result | The result passed to your SlotAsyncReady.

Returns
  A hostname (either ASCII-only, or in ASCII-encoded form), or `0` on error.

Glib::ListHandle< Glib::RefPtr<InetAddress> > Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_name | ( | const Glib::ustring& | hostname,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Synchronously resolves hostname to determine its associated IP address(es).

hostname may be an ASCII-only or UTF-8 hostname, or the textual form of an IP address (in which case this just becomes a wrapper around g_inet_address_new_from_string()).

On success, g_resolver_lookup_by_name() will return a non-empty List of InetAddress, sorted in order of preference and guaranteed to not contain duplicates. That is, if using the result to connect to hostname, you should attempt to connect to the first address first, then the second if the first fails, etc. If you are using the result to listen on a socket, it is appropriate to add each result using e.g. g_socket_listener_add_address().

If the DNS resolution fails, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError and `0` will be returned.

If cancellable is non-`0`, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-`0`) will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

If you are planning to connect to a socket on the resolved IP address, it may be easier to create a NetworkAddress and use its SocketConnectable interface.

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  hostname | The hostname to look up.
  cancellable | A Cancellable, or `0`.

Returns
  A non-empty List of InetAddress, or `0` on error. You must unref each of the addresses and free the list when you are done with it. (You can use g_resolver_free_addresses() to do this.).

Since glibmm 2.22:

Parameters

  result | The result passed to your SlotAsyncReady.

Returns
  A List of InetAddress, or `0` on error. See g_resolver_lookup_by_name() for more details.

std::vector<Glib::VariantContainerBase> Gio::Resolver::lookup_records | ( | const Glib::ustring& | rrname,
|  | ResolverRecordType | record_type,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Synchronously performs a DNS record lookup for the given rrname and returns a list of records as Variant tuples.

See ResolverRecordType for information on what the records contain for each record_type.

If the DNS resolution fails, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError and `0` will be returned.

If cancellable is non-`0`, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-`0`) will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.34:

Parameters

  rrname | The DNS name to lookup the record for.
  record_type | The type of DNS record to lookup.
  cancellable | A Cancellable, or `0`.

std::vector<Glib::VariantContainerBase> Gio::Resolver::lookup_records | ( | const Glib::ustring& | rrname,
|  | ResolverRecordType | record_type
| ) |  |

A lookup_records() convenience overload.

std::vector<Glib::VariantContainerBase> Gio::Resolver::lookup_records_finish | ( | const Glib::RefPtr< AsyncResult >& | result | ) |

Retrieves the result of a previous call to g_resolver_lookup_records_async().

Returns a non-empty list of records as Variant tuples. See ResolverRecordType for information on what the records contain.

If the DNS resolution failed, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError. If the operation was cancelled, error will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

ListHandle_SrvTarget Gio::Resolver::lookup_service | ( | const Glib::ustring& | service,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | protocol,
|  | const Glib::ustring& | domain,
|  | const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >& | cancellable
| ) |  |

Synchronously performs a DNS SRV lookup for the given service and protocol in the given domain and returns an array of SrvTarget.

domain may be an ASCII-only or UTF-8 hostname. Note also that the service and protocol arguments do not include the leading underscore that appears in the actual DNS entry.

On success, g_resolver_lookup_service() will return a non-empty List of SrvTarget, sorted in order of preference. (That is, you should attempt to connect to the first target first, then the second if the first fails, etc.)

If the DNS resolution fails, error (if non-`0`) will be set to a value from ResolverError and `0` will be returned.

If cancellable is non-`0`, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-`0`) will be set to IO_ERROR_CANCELLED.

If you are planning to connect to the service, it is usually easier to create a NetworkService and use its SocketConnectable interface.
