Class (GI Struct)

Gio-2.0 ▶ Gio ▶ SrvTarget

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 Gio.Resolver.lookup_service or Gio.Resolver.lookup_service_async to find the Gio.SrvTargets for a given service. However, if you are simply planning to connect to the remote service, you can use Gio.NetworkService’s Gio.SocketConnectable interface and not need to worry about Gio.SrvTarget at all.

  • Parameters

    • hostname: string
    • port: number
    • priority: number
    • weight: number

    Returns SrvTarget

$gtype: GType<SrvTarget>

  • 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.)

    Returns string

    target's hostname

    2.22

  • Gets target's priority. You should not need to look at this; Gio.Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

    Returns number

    target's priority

    2.22

  • Gets target's weight. You should not need to look at this; Gio.Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

    Returns number

    target's weight
