Public Class Methods

new(config_info=nil) click to toggle source

Creates a new DNS resolver.

config_info can be:

nil

Uses /etc/resolv.conf.

String

Path to a file using /etc/resolv.conf's format.

Hash

Must contain :nameserver, :search and :ndots keys.

Example:

Resolv::DNS.new(:nameserver => ['210.251.121.21'],
                :search => ['ruby-lang.org'],
                :ndots => 1)

 
               # File resolv.rb, line 323
def initialize(config_info=nil)
  @mutex = Mutex.new
  @config = Config.new(config_info)
  @initialized = nil
end
open(*args) click to toggle source

Creates a new DNS resolver. See ::new for argument details.

Yields the created DNS resolver to the block, if given, otherwise returns it.

 
               # File resolv.rb, line 298
def self.open(*args)
  dns = new(*args)
  return dns unless block_given?
  begin
    yield dns
  ensure
    dns.close
  end
end

    if @initialized
      @initialized = false
    end
  }
end

  end
  each_resource(ptr, Resource::IN::PTR) {|resource| yield resource.name}
end
