DNS resolver global object.
[edit] Methods
- query(type,name,async)
 
Make a DNS query
Parameters:
type Type of DNS Record to query (string). Values: SRV,NAPTR,A,AAAA,TXT.
name Domain Name to query
async Optional non-blocking flag
Return:
Array of records of uniform type.
- For A, AAAA, TXT records are strings
 -  For NAPTR records are objects with fields:
- flags
 - service
 - regexp
 - replacement
 - name
 - order
 - priority
 - ttl
 
 -  For SRV records are objects with fields:
- port
 - name
 - order
 - priority
 - ttl
 
 
If async is boolean true the execution context is unlocked during the DNS operation.
- resolve(name)
 
Resolves the name using the system routines. This returns at most one address and takes into account the hosts file.
- local(address)
 
Returns the local IP address that is used by default as route to remote address. Remote address can be specified by DNS name in which case it is resolved first.
- pack(address,separator)
 
Returns a hexadecimal string representing the packed representation of the IP address. Address can be specified by DNS name in which case it is resolved first.
Returns undefined on error.
Parameters:
address IP address to pack
separator Optional hexadecimal octets separator
- unpack(hexstr)
 
Returns the canonical text form of the packed IP adress provided.
Parameters:
hexstr Hexadecimal representation of the packed IP address, must be 4, 8 or 16 octets long. An 8 octets address is interpreted as a /64 IPv6 prefix.
Returns undefined on error.
