Hi,
I have implemented network object name resolving. The current
implemented objects are : IP addresses, UDP and TCP ports.
All name resolutions use a hash table to optimize lookup time
and a mechanism is implemented to avoid long DNS timeout for
hostname lookups.
In attachment, you can see the function prototypes (resolv.h),
the 3 exported functions return the name of the object if found
or the appropriate decimal notation (if not found or if the
name resolution is not actif (g_resolving_actif = 0)).
This global variable controls the module activation, I need
some advices for its use, should I add a process argument or
should I add an option window with a name resolution option
checkbox ... In the last case, can someone help me (I am not
yet familiar with GTK :-)
This module works fine on Linux, I will test it on other platforms,
next week. So expect a patch soon.
Laurent.
