------- | ||
|
||
This is a fork of the original libdnet (https://github.com/dugsong/libdnet), since the | ||
previous author doesn't respon to issues and pull requests. | ||
We're currently trying to get this in shape (again), address the issues and pull requests, | ||
available in the original Github repo and eventually will rename this repo (opinions?). | ||
|
||
libdnet provides a simplified, portable interface to several low-level | ||
networking routines, including network address manipulation, kernel | ||
arp(4) cache and route(4) table lookup and manipulation, network | ||
firewalling, network interface lookup and manipulation, IP tunnelling, | ||
and raw IP packet and Ethernet frame transmission. | ||

This is a fork of https://github.com/ofalk/libdnet to address an open issue with addr_pton() | ||
calling gethostbyname(). This fork just removes the handling of host names as the first | ||
argument to addr_pton() since it can't do the right thing in a dual-stack world (there is | ||
no right thing to do; does the user want the AAAA record or the A record? If there is | ||
more than one record (even if the same type), which one do we want to use? etc. | ||
Basically, keep any resolver calls out of addr.c. |
