59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60.Bf -symbolic
61The
62.Fn cap_getaddrinfo ,
63and
64.Fn cap_getnameinfo ,
65functions are preferred over the
66.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
67.Fn cap_gethostbyname2 ,
68and
69.Fn cap_gethostbyaddr
70functions.
71.Ef
72.Pp
73The functions
74.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
75.Fn cap_gethostbyname2 ,
76.Fn cep_gethostbyaddr
77and
78.Fn cap_getnameinfo
79are respectively equivalent to
80.Xr gethostbyname 2 ,
81.Xr gethostbyname2 2 ,
82.Xr gethostbyaddr 2
83and
84.Xr getnameinfo 2
85except that the connection to the
86.Nm system.dns
87service needs to be provided.
88.Pp
89The
90.Fn cap_dns_type_limit
91function limits the functions allowed in the service.
92The
93.Fa types
94variable can be set to
95.Dv ADDR2NAME
96or
97.Dv NAME2ADDR .
98See the
99.Sx LIMITS
100section for more details.
101The
102.Fa ntpyes
103variable contains the number of
104.Fa types
105provided.
106.Pp
107The
108.Fn cap_dns_family_limit
109functions allows to limit address families.
110For details see
111.Sx LIMITS .
112The
113.Fa nfamilies
114variable contains the number of
115.Fa families
116provided.
117.Sh LIMITS
118The preferred way of setting limits is to use the
119.Fn cap_dns_type_limit
120and
121.Fn cap_dns_family_limit
122functions, but the limits of service can be set also using
123.Xr cap_limit_set 3 .
124The
125.Xr nvlist 9
126for that function can contain the following values and types:
127.Bl -ohang -offset indent
128.It type ( NV_TYPE_STRING )
129The
130.Va type
131can have two values:
132.Dv ADDR2NAME
133or
134.Dv NAME2ADDR .
135The
136.Dv ADDR2NAME
137means that reverse DNS lookups are allowed with
138.Fn cap_getnameinfo
139and
140.Fn cap_gethostbyaddr
141functions.
142In case when
143.Va type
144is set to
145.Dv NAME2ADDR
146the name resolution is allowed with
147.Fn cap_getaddrinfo ,
148.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
149and
150.Fn cap_gethostbyname2
151functions.
152.It family ( NV_TYPE_NUMBER )
153The
154.Va family
155limits service to one of the address families (e.g.
156.Dv AF_INET , AF_INET6 ,
157etc.).
158.Sh EXAMPLES
159The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses this
160capability to create the
161.Nm system.dns
162casper service and uses it to resolve an IP address.

213
214printf("Name associated with %s is %s.\\n", ipstr, hname);
