Querying the System’s Network Name Database
This crate allows querying the database of network-related names
similar to the what can be found in POSIX’s netdb.h. The queries
are performed in a way appropriate for the platform and consider the
system’s configuration.
Note: This is not yet true for this initial release. It performs queries in a hard-wired fashion and probably only works correctly on Unix-y systems.
For each query, there are synchronous functions (generally prefixed with
get_) as well as asynchronous functions return futures atop a Tokio
reactor core (starting with poll_ for want of a better prefix).
For each database, there is a submodule. Have a look at these modules for more information.
