Greetings again. I have updated the API again based on input from this list. The new version is at <http://www.vpnc.org/getdns-api/>. The changes between 0.268 0.293 are:
- Changed the main function calls by splitting them into:
? getdns_address for doing getaddrinfo()-like address lookups
? getdns_hostname for doing getnameinfo()-like name lookups
? getdns_service for getting results from SRV lookups
? getdns_general for looking up any type of DNS record
Each has a parallel _sync call for the sync fans out there.
- Fixed the processed information for SRV records to be srv_addresses (a list). The list is ordered by priority and weight based on the weighting algorithm in RFC 2782, lowest priority value first.
Please continue to review the proposed API. I am still very interested in comments from application developers about what they want/need from a new DNS API.
