Struct
GioSrvTarget
Description [src]
struct GSrvTarget {
/* No available fields */
}
A single target host/port that a network service is running on.
SRV (service) records are used by some network protocols to provide
service-specific aliasing and load-balancing. For example, XMPP
(Jabber) uses SRV records to locate the XMPP server for a domain;
rather than connecting directly to ‘example.com’ or assuming a
specific server hostname like ‘xmpp.example.com’, an XMPP client
would look up the xmpp-client SRV record for ‘example.com’, and
then connect to whatever host was pointed to by that record.
You can use g_resolver_lookup_service() or
g_resolver_lookup_service_async() to find the GSrvTargets
for a given service. However, if you are simply planning to connect
to the remote service, you can use GNetworkService’s
GSocketConnectable interface and not need to worry about
GSrvTarget at all.
Instance methods
g_srv_target_get_hostname
Gets target‘s hostname (in ASCII form; if you are going to present
this to the user, you should use g_hostname_is_ascii_encoded() to
check if it contains encoded Unicode segments, and use
g_hostname_to_unicode() to convert it if it does.).
since: 2.22
g_srv_target_get_priority
Gets target‘s priority. You should not need to look at this;
GResolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in
RFC 2782.
since: 2.22
g_srv_target_get_weight
Gets target‘s weight. You should not need to look at this;
GResolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in
RFC 2782.
