|
|
|
|
|
|
The TQDns class provides asynchronous DNS lookups.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p> Both Windows and Unix provide synchronous DNS lookups; Windows
|
|
provides some asynchronous support too. At the time of writing
|
|
neither operating system provides asynchronous support for
|
|
anything other than hostname-to-address mapping.
|
|
<p> TQDns rectifies this shortcoming, by providing asynchronous caching
|
|
lookups for the record types that we expect modern GUI
|
|
applications to need in the near future.
|
|
<p> The class is <em>not</em> straightforward to use (although it is much
|
|
simpler than the native APIs); <a href="ntqsocket.html">TQSocket</a> provides much easier to use
|
|
TCP connection facilities. The aim of TQDns is to provide a correct
|
|
and small API to the DNS and nothing more. (We use "correctness"
|
|
to mean that the DNS information is correctly cached, and
|
|
correctly timed out.)
|
|
<p> The API comprises a constructor, functions to set the DNS node
|
|
(the domain in DNS terminology) and record type (<a href="#setLabel">setLabel</a>() and
|
|
<a href="#setRecordType">setRecordType</a>()), the corresponding get functions, an <a href="#isWorking">isWorking</a>()
|
|
function to determine whether TQDns is working or reading, a
|
|
<a href="#resultsReady">resultsReady</a>() signal and query functions for the result.
|
|
<p> There is one query function for each RecordType, namely
|
|
<a href="#addresses">addresses</a>(), <a href="#mailServers">mailServers</a>(), <a href="#servers">servers</a>(), <a href="#hostNames">hostNames</a>() and <a href="#texts">texts</a>().
|
|
There are also two generic query functions: <a href="#canonicalName">canonicalName</a>()
|
|
returns the name you'll presumably end up using (the exact meaning
|
|
of this depends on the record type) and <a href="#qualifiedNames">qualifiedNames</a>() returns a
|
|
list of the fully qualified names <a href="#label">label</a>() maps to.
|
|
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqsocket.html">TQSocket</a> and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.

<hr><h2>Member Type Documentation</h2>
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="RecordType-enum"></a>TQDns::RecordType</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This enum type defines the record types TQDns can handle. The DNS
|
|
provides many more; these are the ones we've judged to be in
|
|
current use, useful for GUI programs and important enough to
|
|
support right away:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::None</tt> - No information. This exists only so that TQDns can
|
|
have a default.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::A</tt> - IPv4 addresses. By far the most common type.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Aaaa</tt> - IPv6 addresses. So far mostly unused.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Mx</tt> - Mail eXchanger names. Used for mail delivery.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Srv</tt> - SeRVer names. Generic record type for finding
|
|
servers. So far mostly unused.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Cname</tt> - Canonical names. Maps from nicknames to the true
|
|
name (the canonical name) for a host.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Ptr</tt> - name PoinTeRs. Maps from IPv4 or IPv6 addresses to hostnames.
|
|
<li><tt>TQDns::Txt</tt> - arbitrary TeXT for domains.
|
|
</ul><p> We expect that some support for the
|
|
<a href="http://www.dns.net/dnsrd/rfc/rfc2535.html">RFC-2535</a>
|
|
extensions will be added in future versions.

|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDns"></a>TQDns::TQDns ()
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a DNS query object with invalid settings for both the
|
|
label and the search type.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDns-2"></a>TQDns::TQDns ( const <a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> & label, <a href="ntqdns.html#RecordType-enum">RecordType</a> rr = A )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a DNS query object that will return record type <em>rr</em>
|
|
information about <em>label</em>.
|
|
<p> The DNS lookup is started the next time the application enters the
|
|
event loop. When the result is found the signal <a href="#resultsReady">resultsReady</a>() is
|
|
emitted.
|
|
<p> <em>rr</em> defaults to <a href="#RecordType-enum">A</a>, IPv4 addresses.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQDns-3"></a>TQDns::TQDns ( const <a href="ntqhostaddress.html">TQHostAddress</a> & address, <a href="ntqdns.html#RecordType-enum">RecordType</a> rr = Ptr )
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Constructs a DNS query object that will return record type <em>rr</em>
|
|
information about host address <em>address</em>. The label is set to the
|
|
IN-ADDR.ARPA domain name. This is useful in combination with the
|
|
<a href="#RecordType-enum">Ptr</a> record type (e.g. if you want to look up a hostname for a
|
|
given address).
|
|
<p> The DNS lookup is started the next time the application enters the
|
|
event loop. When the result is found the signal <a href="#resultsReady">resultsReady</a>() is
|
|
emitted.
|
|
<p> <em>rr</em> defaults to <a href="#RecordType-enum">Ptr</a>, that maps addresses to hostnames.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQDns"></a>TQDns::~TQDns ()<tt> [virtual]</tt>
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Destroys the DNS query object and frees its allocated resources.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="tqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQHostAddress> <a name="addresses"></a>TQDns::addresses () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a list of the addresses for this name if this TQDns object
|
|
has a <a href="#recordType">recordType</a>() of <a href="#RecordType-enum">TQDns::A</a> or <a href="#RecordType-enum">TQDns::Aaaa</a> and the answer
|
|
is available; otherwise returns an empty list.
|
|
<p> As a special case, if <a href="#label">label</a>() is a valid numeric IP address, this
|
|
function returns that address.
|
|
<p> Note that if you want to iterate over the list, you should iterate
|
|
over a copy, e.g.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="tqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><TQHostAddress> list = myDns.addresses();
|
|
TQValueList<TQHostAddress>::Iterator it = list.<a href="tqvaluelist.html#begin">begin</a>();
|
|
while( it != list.<a href="tqvaluelist.html#end">end</a>() ) {
|
|
myProcessing( *it );
|
|
++it;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="canonicalName"></a>TQDns::canonicalName () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns the canonical name for this DNS node. (This works
|
|
regardless of what <a href="#recordType">recordType</a>() is set to.)
|
|
<p> If the canonical name isn't known, this function returns a null
|
|
string.
|
|
<p> The canonical name of a DNS node is its full name, or the full
|
|
name of the target of its CNAME. For example, if l.trolltech.com
|
|
is a CNAME to lillian.troll.no, and the search path for TQDns is
|
|
"trolltech.com", then the canonical name for all of "lillian",
|
|
"l", "lillian.troll.no." and "l.trolltech.com" is
|
|
"lillian.troll.no.".
|
|
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> <a name="hostNames"></a>TQDns::hostNames () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a list of host names if the record type is <a href="#RecordType-enum">Ptr</a>.
|
|
<p> Note that if you want to iterate over the list, you should iterate
|
|
over a copy, e.g.
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<a href="ntqstringlist.html">TQStringList</a> list = myDns.hostNames();
|
|
TQStringList::Iterator it = list.<a href="tqvaluelist.html#begin">begin</a>();

myProcessing( *it );

++it;
|
|
}
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isWorking"></a>TQDns::isWorking () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns TRUE if TQDns is doing a lookup for this object (i.e. if it
|
|
does not already have the necessary information); otherwise
|
|
returns FALSE.
|
|
<p> TQDns emits the <a href="#resultsReady">resultsReady</a>() signal when the status changes to FALSE.
|
|
|
|
<p>Example: <a href="mail-example.html#x705">network/mail/smtp.cpp</a>.
|
|
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="label"></a>TQDns::label () const

<h3 class=fn><a href="tqvaluelist.html">TQValueList</a><MailServer> <a name="mailServers"></a>TQDns::mailServers () const
|
|
</h3>
|
|
Returns a list of mail servers if the record type is <a href="#RecordType-enum">Mx</a>. The

class <tt>TQDns::MailServer</tt> contains the following public variables:

<ul>

Sets this DNS query object to query for information about <em>label</em>.

|
|
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
|
|
<p> Sets this DNS query object to query for information about the host
|
|
address <em>address</em>. The label is set to the IN-ADDR.ARPA domain
|
|
name. This is useful in combination with the <a href="#RecordType-enum">Ptr</a> record type
|

</h3>
|
|
Sets this object to query for record type <em>rr</em> records.

|
<p> The DNS lookup is started the next time the application enters the
