Specifying 0 indicates that any type can be used. \fBprotocol\fR specifies a protocol such as IPPROTO_TCP, IPPROTO_UDP or IPPORTO_SCTP. If set to 0 than any protocol can be used. \fBres\fR points at a pointer to hold the start of a \fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR chain. .PP For the family \fBAF_UNIX\fR, \fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR will ignore the \fBservice\fR parameter and expects the \fBhost\fR parameter to hold the path to the socket file. .PP \&\fBBIO_lookup()\fR does the same as \fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR but does not provide the ability to select based on the protocol (any protocol may be returned). .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_family()\fR returns the family of the given \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR. The result will be one of the constants AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX. .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_socktype()\fR returns the socket type of the given \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR. The result will be one of the constants SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM. .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_protocol()\fR returns the protocol id of the given \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR. The result will be one of the constants IPPROTO_TCP and IPPROTO_UDP. .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_address()\fR returns the underlying \fBBIO_ADDR\fR of the given \fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR. .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_next()\fR returns the next \fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR in the chain from the given one. .PP \&\fBBIO_ADDRINFO_free()\fR frees the chain of \fBBIO_ADDRINFO\fR starting with the given one. If the argument is NULL, nothing is done. .SH "RETURN VALUES" .IX Header "RETURN VALUES" \&\fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR and \fBBIO_lookup()\fR return 1 on success and 0 when an error occurred, and will leave an error indication on the OpenSSL error stack in that case. .PP All other functions described here return 0 or \fBNULL\fR when the information they should return isn't available. .SH NOTES .IX Header "NOTES" The \fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR implementation uses the platform provided \fBgetaddrinfo()\fR function. On Linux it is known that specifying 0 for the protocol will not return any SCTP based addresses when calling \fBgetaddrinfo()\fR. Therefore, if an SCTP address is required then the \fBprotocol\fR parameter to \fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR should be explicitly set to IPPROTO_SCTP. The same may be true on other platforms. .SH HISTORY .IX Header "HISTORY" The \fBBIO_lookup_ex()\fR function was added in OpenSSL 1.1.1. .SH COPYRIGHT .IX Header "COPYRIGHT" Copyright 2016\-2024 The OpenSSL Project Authors.
