The getnameinfo implementation requires an address -> name lookup on the
hosts file (ie struct HostsTxt) and the previous implementation used
flags to check whether HostsTxt was sorted according to address or name,
and then re-sorted it if necessary. Now getnameinfo lookup does not
require sorting, it does a simple linear lookup, and so the related code
was simplified
See #172 for discussion.
Added necessary constants (DNS_TYPE_PTR, NI_NUMERICHOST etc.).
Implementation of getnameinfo is similar to getaddrinfo, with internal
functions:
* ResolveDnsReverse: performs rDNS query and parses the PTR record
* ResolveHostsReverse: reads /etc/hosts to map hostname to
address
Earlier, the HOSTS.txt would only need to be sorted at loading time,
because the only kind of lookup was name -> address. Now since address
-> name lookups are also possible, so the HostsTxt struct, the sorting
method (and the related tests) was changed to reflect this.
Buffering now has optimal performance, bugs have been fixed, and some
missing apis have been introduced. This implementation is also now more
production worthy since it's less brittle now in terms of system errors.
That's going to help redbean since lua i/o is all based on stdio.
