Available Packages
Name : adns
Version : 1.6.0
Release : 8.fc38
Architecture : x86_64
Size : 73 k
Source : adns-1.6.0-8.fc38.src.rpm
Repository : fedora
Summary : Advanced, easy to use, asynchronous-capable DNS client library
URL : http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~ian/adns/
License : GPL+
Description : adns is a resolver library for C (and C++) programs. In contrast with
: the existing interfaces, gethostbyname et al and libresolv, it has the
: following features:
: - It is reasonably easy to use for simple programs which just want to
: translate names to addresses, look up MX records, etc.
: - It can be used in an asynchronous, non-blocking, manner. Many
: queries can be handled simultaneously.
: - Responses are decoded automatically into a natural representation
: for a C program - there is no need to deal with DNS packet formats.
: - Sanity checking (eg, name syntax checking, reverse/forward
: correspondence, CNAME pointing to CNAME) is performed automatically.
: - Time-to-live, CNAME and other similar information is returned in an
: easy-to-use form, without getting in the way.
: - There is no global state in the library; resolver state is an opaque
: data structure which the client creates explicitly. A program can have
: several instances of the resolver.
: - Errors are reported to the application in a way that distinguishes
: the various causes of failure properly.
: - Understands conventional resolv.conf, but this can overridden by
: environment variables.
: - Flexibility. For example, the application can tell adns to: ignore
: environment variables (for setuid programs), disable sanity checks eg
: to return arbitrary data, override or ignore resolv.conf in favour of
: supplied configuration, etc.
: - Believed to be correct ! For example, will correctly back off to TCP
: in case of long replies or queries, or to other nameservers if several
: are available. It has sensible handling of bad responses etc.
