Dnsruby::Resolv class

class methods

• Dnsruby::Resolv.getaddress(name)
• Dnsruby::Resolv.getaddresses(name)
• Dnsruby::Resolv.each_address(name) {|address| …}

    They lookups IP addresses of ((|name|)) which represents a hostname
    as a string by default resolver.
  

• getaddress returns first entry of resultant addresses.
• getaddresses returns resultant addresses as an array.
• each_address iterates over resultant addresses.
• Dnsruby::Resolv.getname(address)
• Dnsruby::Resolv.getnames(address)
• Dnsruby::Resolv.each_name(address) {|name| …}

    lookups hostnames of ((|address|)) which represents IP address as a string.
  

• getname returns first entry of resultant names.
• getnames returns resultant names as an array.
• each_names iterates over resultant names.

The DNS class may be used to perform more queries. If greater control over the sending of packets is required, then the Resolver or SingleResolver classes may be used.
