Description | ||||||||||||||||
The Network.BSD module defines Haskell bindings to functionality provided by BSD Unix derivatives. Currently this covers network programming functionality and symbolic links. (OK, so the latter is pretty much supported by most Unixes today, but it was BSD that introduced them.) The symlink stuff is really in the wrong place, at some point it will move to a generic Unix library somewhere else in the module tree. | ||||||||||||||||
Synopsis | ||||||||||||||||
Host names | ||||||||||||||||
type HostName = String | ||||||||||||||||
getHostName :: IO HostName | ||||||||||||||||
Calling getHostName returns the standard host name for the current processor, as set at boot time. | ||||||||||||||||
data HostEntry | ||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||
getHostByName :: HostName -> IO HostEntry | ||||||||||||||||
Resolve a HostName to IPv4 address. | ||||||||||||||||
getHostByAddr :: Family -> HostAddress -> IO HostEntry | ||||||||||||||||
Get a HostEntry corresponding to the given address and family. Note that only IPv4 is currently supported. | ||||||||||||||||
hostAddress :: HostEntry -> HostAddress | ||||||||||||||||
