dns-lookup

A small wrapper for libc to perform simple DNS lookups.

You can use the lookup_host function to get a list of IP Addresses for a given hostname, and the lookup_name function to get the reverse dns entry for the given IP Address.

Usage

Simple API

```rust use dnslookup::{lookuphost, lookup_addr};

{ let hostname = "localhost"; let ips: Vec = lookup_host(hostname).unwrap(); assert!(ips.contains(&"127.0.0.1".parse().unwrap())); }

{ let ip: std::net::IpAddr = "127.0.0.1".parse().unwrap(); let host = lookup_addr(&ip).unwrap();

// The string "localhost" on unix, and the hostname on Windows. } ```

libc API

```rust { extern crate dns_lookup;

use dns_lookup::{getaddrinfo, AddrInfoHints, SockType};

fn main() { let hostname = "localhost"; let service = "ssh"; let hints = AddrInfoHints { socktype: SockType::Stream.into(), .. AddrInfoHints::default() }; let sockets = getaddrinfo(Some(hostname), Some(service), Some(hints)) .unwrap().collect::>>().unwrap();

for socket in sockets {
  // Try connecting to socket
  println!("{:?}", socket);
}

} }

{ use dns_lookup::getnameinfo; use std::net::{IpAddr, SocketAddr};

let ip: IpAddr = "127.0.0.1".parse().unwrap(); let port = 22; let socket: SocketAddr = (ip, port).into();

let (name, service) = match getnameinfo(&socket, 0) { Ok((n, s)) => (n, s), Err(e) => panic!("Failed to lookup socket {:?}", e), };

println!("{:?} {:?}", name, service); let _ = (name, service); } ```
