Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ bitfield__resolve_flag

enum llfio_v2_xxx::ip::bitfield__resolve_flag : unsigned

Flags for resolve()

Enumerator
none	No flags.
passive	Return addresses for binding to this machine.
blocking	Execute address resolution synchronously.

                                           {
   none = 0,              //!< No flags
   passive = (1U << 0U),  //!< Return addresses for binding to this machine.
   blocking = (1U << 1U)  //!< Execute address resolution synchronously.
   } QUICKCPPLIB_BITFIELD_END(resolve_flag)

◆ family

enum llfio_v2_xxx::ip::family

strong

The family of IP.

Enumerator
v4	IP version 4.
v6	IP version 6.
any	Either v4 or v6.

   {
     unknown,
     v4,  //!< IP version 4
     v6,  //!< IP version 6
     any  //!< Either v4 or v6
   };

Function Documentation

◆ resolve()

result<resolver_ptr> llfio_v2_xxx::ip::resolve	(	string_view	name,
		string_view	service,
		family	_family = `family::any`,
		deadline	d = `{}`,
		resolve_flag	flags = `resolve_flag::none`
	)

inlinenoexcept

Retrieve a list of potential address for a given name and service e.g. "www.google.com" and "https" optionally within a bounded deadline.

Warning: This is deprecated and scheduled for removal in 2025.

The object returned by this function can take many seconds to become ready as multiple network requests may need to be made. The deadline can be used to bound execution times – like in a few other places in LLFIO, this deadline does not cause timed out errors, rather it aborts any remaining name resolution after the deadline expires and returns whatever addresses have been resolved by the deadline.

This function has a future-like API as several major platforms provide native asynchronous name resolution (currently: Linux, Windows). On other platforms, std::async with getaddrinfo() is used as an emulation, and therefore deadline expiry means no partial list of addresses are returned.

If you become no longer interested in the results, simply reset or delete the pointer and the resolution will be aborted asynchronously.

Memory Allocations\n This is one of those very few APIs in LLFIO where dynamic memory allocation: is unbounded and uncontrollable thanks to how the platform APIs are implemented.
