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59This service is obsolete and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