Detailed Description

Functions for DNS (Domain Name System) lookups

Function Documentation

wiced_result_t wiced_hostname_lookup	(	const char *	hostname,
		wiced_ip_address_t *	address,
		uint32_t	timeout_ms,
		wiced_interface_t	interface
	)

Looks up a hostname via DNS

Sends a DNS query to find an IP address for a given hostname string.

Note: : hostname is permitted to be in dotted quad form; : The returned IP may be IPv4 or IPv6( IPv4 will take precedence when both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are found )

Parameters

[in]	hostname	: A null-terminated string containing the hostname to be looked-up
[out]	address	: A pointer to an IP address that will receive the resolved address
[in]	timeout_ms	: Timeout value in milliseconds
[in]	interface	: Network interface to use for the look-up (see wiced_constants.h).

Returns: wiced_result_t

wiced_result_t wiced_hostname_lookup_list	(	const char *	hostname,
		wiced_resolved_ip_address_list *	addr_list,
		wiced_dns_lookup_address_type_t	type,
		uint32_t	timeout_ms,
		wiced_interface_t	interface
	)

Looks up a hostname via DNS

Sends a DNS query to find one or more IP addresses for a given hostname string. Application specifies how many addresses it expects using 'count' field of wiced_resolved_ip_address_list. Library may change 'count' based on how many different IP-addresses it actually received as DNS response.

Note: : hostname is permitted to be in dotted quad form

Parameters

[in]	hostname	: A null-terminated string containing the hostname to be looked-up
[out]	addr_list	: A pointer to an Resolved IP address list structure that will receive one or more resolved addresses.
[in]	type	: Specifies the type of IP addresses which should be returned in the list
[in]	timeout_ms	: Timeout value in milliseconds
[in]	interface	: Network interface to use for the look-up (see wiced_constants.h).

Returns: wiced_result_t
