})

API

dns

dns.IPFamily

type IPFamily = 4 | 6

The IP address family: 4 for IPv4 or 6 for IPv6.

dns.lookup

dns.lookup(hostname: string, cb: (
      err: Error | null,
      address: string | null,
      family: IPFamily | 0
    ) => void): void

Resolve hostname into an IP address using the operating system's getaddrinfo facility, not the DNS protocol directly. With all: true, the callback receives every resolved address instead of just the first.

Parameters

dns.resolveTxt(hostname: string, cb: (err: Error | null, records: string[][]) => void): void

Use the DNS protocol to resolve TXT records for hostname. The callback receives an array of records, each itself an array of the strings that make up that record.

Parameters

DNSResolver

destroy(): void

Cancel any pending queries on this resolver and release its underlying handle.

resolveTxt(hostname: string, cb: (err: Error | null, records: string[][]) => void): void

Use the DNS protocol to resolve TXT records for hostname. The callback receives an array of records, each itself an array of the strings that make up that record.

Parameters

Types

interface LookupOptions {
  family?: `IPv${IPFamily}` | IPFamily | 0
  hints?: number
  all?: boolean
}
