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.

Since glibmm 2.24:

static
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 ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

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-nullptr) will be set to a value from ResolverError.

If cancellable is non-nullptr, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-nullptr) will be set to Gio::Error::CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters
addressThe address to reverse-resolve.
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
Returns
A hostname (either ASCII-only, or in ASCII-encoded form), or nullptr on error.
Exceptions
Glib::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
addressThe address to reverse-resolve.
slotA callback slot to call after the resolution completes.
cancellableA 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
addressThe address to reverse-resolve.
slotA 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-nullptr) will be set to a value from ResolverError. If the operation was cancelled, error will be set to Gio::Error::CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters
resultThe result passed to your SlotAsyncReady.
Returns
A hostname (either ASCII-only, or in ASCII-encoded form), or nullptr on error.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
std::vector<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-nullptr) will be set to a value from ResolverError and nullptr will be returned.

If cancellable is non-nullptr, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-nullptr) will be set to Gio::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
hostnameThe hostname to look up.
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
Returns
A non-empty List of InetAddress, or nullptr 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.).
Exceptions
Glib::Error
std::vector<Glib::RefPtr<InetAddress> > Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_name ( const Glib::ustring hostname)

const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable

See lookup_by_name() for more details.

Parameters
hostnameThe hostname to look up.
slotA callback slot to call after the resolution completes.
cancellableA Cancellable object which can be used to cancel the operation.
void Gio::Resolver::lookup_by_name_async ( const Glib::ustring hostname,

Since glibmm 2.22:
Parameters
resultThe result passed to your SlotAsyncReady.
Returns
A List of InetAddress, or nullptr on error. See g_resolver_lookup_by_name() for more details.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
std::vector<Glib::VariantContainerBase> Gio::Resolver::lookup_records ( const Glib::ustring rrname,
RecordType  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 Gio::Resolver::RecordType for information on what the records contain for each record_type.

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

If cancellable is non-nullptr, it can be used to cancel the operation, in which case error (if non-nullptr) will be set to Gio::Error::CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.34:
Parameters
rrnameThe DNS name to look up the record for.
record_typeThe type of DNS record to look up.
cancellableA Cancellable, or nullptr.
Returns
A non-empty List of Variant, or nullptr on error. You must free each of the records and the list when you are done with it. (You can use Glib::list_free_full() with Glib::variant_unref() to do this.).
Exceptions
Glib::Error
std::vector<Glib::VariantContainerBase> Gio::Resolver::lookup_records ( const Glib::ustring rrname,
RecordType  record_type 
)

A lookup_records() convenience overload.

void Gio::Resolver::lookup_records_async ( const Glib::ustring rrname,
RecordType  record_type,
const SlotAsyncReady &  slot,
const Glib::RefPtr< Cancellable >&  cancellable 
)

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 Gio::Resolver::RecordType for information on what the records contain.

If the DNS resolution failed, error (if non-nullptr) will be set to a value from ResolverError. If the operation was cancelled, error will be set to Gio::Error::CANCELLED.

Since glibmm 2.34:
Parameters
resultThe result passed to your SlotAsyncReady.
