域名解析API介绍

为了便于记忆,有时候我们需要我们的程序可以使用域名和端口号去连接服务,这种情况下,我们需要使用 socket API gethostbyname 函数先把域名转换成 ip 地址,再使用 connect函数连接。

在Linux系统上, gethostbyname函数的签名如下:

#include <netdb.h>
       
struct hostent* gethostbyname(const char* name);

域名转换成 ip 时,转换结果存在一个 hostent 结构体中。

转换成功后的 ip 地址存放在 hostent 最后一个字段中,hostent 结构体类型定义如下:

struct hostent 
{
    char*  h_name;            /* official name of host */
    char** h_aliases;         /* alias list */
    int    h_addrtype;        /* host address type */
    int    h_length;          /* length of address */
    char** h_addr_list;       /* list of addresses */
}

#define h_addr h_addr_list[0] /* for backward compatibility */
  • 字段 h_name:地址的正式名称;
  • 字段 h_aliases:地址的预备名称指针;
  • 字段 h_addrtype:地址类型,通常是AF_INET;
  • 字段 h_length:地址的长度,以字节数目为计量单位;
  • 字段 h_addr_list:主机网络地址指针,网络字节顺序。其中,h_addr 是字段 h_addr_list 中的第一地址。

注意:虽然 h_addr_list[0] 看起来是一个 char* 类型,但实际上是一个 uint32_t,这是 ip 地址的 32 bit 整数表示形式,如果需要转换成十进制点分法字符串再调用 inet_ntoa() 函数即可。

我们来看一段示例代码:

#include <sys/types.h>  
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>

//extern int h_errno;

bool connect_to_server(const char* server, short port)
{
    int hSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if (hSocket == -1)
        return false;

    struct sockaddr_in addrSrv = { 0 };
    struct hostent* pHostent = NULL;
    //unsigned int addr = 0;

    //如果传入的参数 server 的值是 somesite.com 这种域名域名形式则 if 条件成立,
 //接着调用 gethostbyname 解析域名为 4 字节的 ip 地址(整型)
 if (addrSrv.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(server) == INADDR_NONE)
    {       
  pHostent = gethostbyname(server);
        if (pHostent == NULL)      
            return false;
        
        //当使用 gethostbyname 解析域名时可能会得到多个 ip 地址,一般最常用的使用第一个 ip 地址
        addrSrv.sin_addr.s_addr = *((unsigned long*)pHostent->h_addr_list[0]);
    }

    addrSrv.sin_family = AF_INET;
    addrSrv.sin_port = htons(port);
    int ret = connect(hSocket, (struct sockaddr*)&addrSrv, sizeof(addrSrv));
    if (ret == -1)
        return false;

    return true;
}

int main()
{
 if (connect_to_server("baidu.com", 80))
  printf("connect successfully.\n");
 else
  printf("connect error.\n");
 
 return 0;
}

上述 connect_to_server 函数既可以支持直接传入域名,也可以传入 ip 地址:

connect_to_server("127.0.0.1", 8888);
connect_to_server("localhost", 8888);

connect_to_server("61.135.169.125", 80);
connect_to_server("baidu.com", 80);

实际在使用 gethostbyname 函数时需要注意以下:

  • gethostbyname  函数是不可重入函数,在 Linux 下建议使用 gethostbyname_r 函数替代;
  • gethostbyname 在解析域名时,会阻塞当前执行线程的,直到得到返回结果;
  • 在使用 gethostbyname 函数出错时,你不能使用 errno 获取错误码信息(因此也不能使用 perror() 函数打印错误信息),你应该使用 h_errno 错误码(也可以调用 herror() 打印错误信息),herror() 函数签名如下:
void herror(const char *s);

在新的 Linux 系统中,gethostbyname 和 gethostbyaddr 一样,已经被标记为废弃的,你应该使用新的函数 getaddrinfo 去替代它们,getaddrinfo 签名如下:

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netdb.h>

int getaddrinfo(const char* node, 
                const char* service, 
                const struct addrinfo* hints, 
                struct addrinfo** res);

getaddrinfo 函数调用成功返回 0,失败返回非 0 值,调用成功后结果存储在参数 res 中。

addrinfo 结构体定义如下:

struct addrinfo
{
    int              ai_flags;
    int              ai_family;
    int              ai_socktype;
    int              ai_protocol;
    socklen_t        ai_addrlen;
    struct sockaddr* ai_addr;
    char*       ai_canonname;
    struct addrinfo* ai_next;
};

如果你不再需要 res 这个变量,记得使用 freeaddrinfo 函数将其指向的资源释放:

void freeaddrinfo(struct addrinfo* res);

getaddrinfo 使用示例如下:

struct addrinfo hints = {0}; 
hints.ai_flags = AI_CANONNAME;
hints.ai_family = family;
hints.ai_socktype = socktype;

struct addrinfo* res;
int n = getaddrinfo(host, service, &hints, &res);
if(n == 0)
{
    //调用成功,使用 res
    
    //释放 res 资源
    freeaddr(res);
}

getaddrinfo 函数不仅支持 ipv4,同时也支持 ipv6 的解析,redis-server 的源码中就使用了这个函数去解析 ipv4 和 ipv6 的地址(位于 net.c 文件中):

static int _redisContextConnectTcp(redisContext *c, const char *addr, int port,
                                   const struct timeval *timeout,
                                   const char *source_addr) {
    int s, rv, n;
    char _port[6];  /* strlen("65535"); */
    struct addrinfo hints, *servinfo, *bservinfo, *p, *b;
    int blocking = (c->flags & REDIS_BLOCK);
    int reuseaddr = (c->flags & REDIS_REUSEADDR);
    int reuses = 0;
    long timeout_msec = -1;

    servinfo = NULL;
    c->connection_type = REDIS_CONN_TCP;
    c->tcp.port = port;

    /* We need to take possession of the passed parameters
     * to make them reusable for a reconnect.
     * We also carefully check we don't free data we already own,
     * as in the case of the reconnect method.
     *
     * This is a bit ugly, but atleast it works and doesn't leak memory.
     **/
    if (c->tcp.host != addr) {
        if (c->tcp.host)
            free(c->tcp.host);

        c->tcp.host = strdup(addr);
    }

    if (timeout) {
        if (c->timeout != timeout) {
            if (c->timeout == NULL)
                c->timeout = malloc(sizeof(struct timeval));

            memcpy(c->timeout, timeout, sizeof(struct timeval));
        }
    } else {
        if (c->timeout)
            free(c->timeout);
        c->timeout = NULL;
    }

        __redisSetError(c, REDIS_ERR_IO, "Invalid timeout specified");
        goto error;
    }

    }

    snprintf(_port, 6, "%d", port);
    memset(&hints,0,sizeof(hints));
    hints.ai_family = AF_INET;
    hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;

    /* Try with IPv6 if no IPv4 address was found. We do it in this order since
     * in a Redis client you can't afford to test if you have IPv6 connectivity
     * as this would add latency to every connect. Otherwise a more sensible
     * route could be: Use IPv6 if both addresses are available and there is IPv6
