The libbind functions have been separated from the BIND suite as of
|
|
BIND 9.6.0. Originally from older versions of BIND, they have been
|
|
continually maintained and improved but not installed by default with
|
|
BIND 9. This standard resolver library contains the same historical
|
|
functions and headers included with many Unix operating systems.
|
|
In fact, most implementations are based on the same original code.
|
|
|
|
ISC's libbind provides the standard resolver library, along with header
|
|
files and documentation, for communicating with domain name servers,
|
|
retrieving network host entries from /etc/hosts or via DNS, converting
|
|
CIDR network addresses, performing Hesiod information lookups, retrieving
|
|
network entries from /etc/networks, implementing TSIG transaction/request
|
|
security of DNS messages, performing name-to-address and address-to-name
|
|
translations, and utilizing /etc/resolv.conf for resolver configuration.
