| Summary : RFC 2553\'s getaddrinfo and getnameinfo functions for Perl
|
Description :
The RFC 2553 functions getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() provide an abstracted
way to convert between a pair of host name/service name and socket addresses,
or vice versa. getaddrinfo converts names into a set of arguments to pass to
the socket() and connect() system calls, and getnameinfo converts a socket
address back into its host name/service name pair. These functions provide a
useful interface for performing either of these name resolution operation,
without having to deal with IPv4/IPv6 transparency, or whether the underlying
host can support IPv6 at all, or other such issues.
