Prerequisites

GskDnsResolver requires GObject.

Known Implementations

GskDnsResolver is implemented by GskDnsClient.

Description

This is an interface which classes that provide DNS lookups may implement. It provides an easy way to conform to the GskNameResolver interface.

Details

GskDnsResolverHints

typedef struct {
  GskSocketAddress       *address;
} GskDnsResolverHints;

GskDnsResolverIface

typedef struct {
  GTypeInterface base_iface;
  gpointer            (*resolve) (GskDnsResolver               *resolver,
				  gboolean                      recursive,

} GskDnsResolverIface;

The interface for DNS resolvers.

GTypeInterface base_iface;
resolve () begin a name-resolution task. The pointer returned should identify the task to the resolver object, so that it can be cancelled. Alternatively, if the resolver can operate without blocking, it may return NULL, after having called the success or failure callback.
cancel () a method to cancel a still running DNS task.

GskDnsResolver

typedef struct _GskDnsResolver GskDnsResolver;

GskDnsResolverTask

typedef struct _GskDnsResolverTask GskDnsResolverTask;
