59.Sh DESCRIPTION
60.Bf -symbolic
61This service is obsolete and
62.Xr cap_net 3
63should be used instead.
64The
65.Fn cap_getaddrinfo ,
66and
67.Fn cap_getnameinfo ,
68functions are preferred over the
69.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
70.Fn cap_gethostbyname2 ,
71and
72.Fn cap_gethostbyaddr
73functions.
74.Ef
75.Pp
76The functions
77.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
78.Fn cap_gethostbyname2 ,
79.Fn cep_gethostbyaddr
80and
81.Fn cap_getnameinfo
82are respectively equivalent to
83.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
84.Xr gethostbyname2 3 ,
85.Xr gethostbyaddr 3
86and
87.Xr getnameinfo 3
88except that the connection to the
89.Nm system.dns
90service needs to be provided.
91.Pp
92The
93.Fn cap_dns_type_limit
94function limits the functions allowed in the service.
95The
96.Fa types
97variable can be set to
98.Dv ADDR2NAME
99or
100.Dv NAME2ADDR .
101See the
102.Sx LIMITS
103section for more details.
104The
105.Fa ntpyes
106variable contains the number of
107.Fa types
108provided.
109.Pp
110The
111.Fn cap_dns_family_limit
112functions allows to limit address families.
113For details see
114.Sx LIMITS .
115The
116.Fa nfamilies
117variable contains the number of
118.Fa families
119provided.
120.Sh LIMITS
121The preferred way of setting limits is to use the
122.Fn cap_dns_type_limit
123and
124.Fn cap_dns_family_limit
125functions, but the limits of service can be set also using
126.Xr cap_limit_set 3 .
127The
128.Xr nvlist 9
129for that function can contain the following values and types:
130.Bl -ohang -offset indent
131.It type ( NV_TYPE_STRING )
132The
133.Va type
134can have two values:
135.Dv ADDR2NAME
136or
137.Dv NAME2ADDR .
138The
139.Dv ADDR2NAME
140means that reverse DNS lookups are allowed with
141.Fn cap_getnameinfo
142and
143.Fn cap_gethostbyaddr
144functions.
145In case when
146.Va type
147is set to
148.Dv NAME2ADDR
149the name resolution is allowed with
150.Fn cap_getaddrinfo ,
151.Fn cap_gethostbyname ,
152and
153.Fn cap_gethostbyname2
154functions.
155.It family ( NV_TYPE_NUMBER )
156The
157.Va family
158limits service to one of the address families (e.g.
159.Dv AF_INET , AF_INET6 ,
160etc.).
161.El
162.Sh EXAMPLES
163The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses this
164capability to create the
165.Nm system.dns
166casper service and uses it to resolve an IP address.
