<p>
IPv4 name resolution functions
<a href="#toip"><tt>dns.toip</tt></a>
and
<a href="#tohostname"><tt>dns.tohostname</tt></a>
return <em>all</em> information obtained from
the resolver in a table of the form:
</p>
<blockquote><tt>
resolved4 = {<br>
name = <i>canonic-name</i>,<br>
alias = <i>alias-list</i>,<br>
ip = <i>ip-address-list</i><br>
}
</tt> </blockquote>
<p>
Note that the <tt>alias</tt> list can be empty.
</p>
<p>
The more general name resolution function
<a href="#getaddrinfo"><tt>dns.getaddrinfo</tt></a>, which
supports both IPv6 and IPv4,
returns <em>all</em> information obtained from
the resolver in a table of the form:
</p>
<blockquote><tt>
resolved6 = {<br>
[1] = {<br>
family = <i>family-name-1</i>,<br>
addr = <i>address-1</i><br>
},<br>
...<br>
[n] = {<br>
family = <i>family-name-n</i>,<br>
addr = <i>address-n</i><br>
}<br>
}
</tt> </blockquote>
<p>
Here, <tt>family</tt> contains the string <tt>"inet"</tt> for IPv4
addresses, and <tt>"inet6"</tt> for IPv6 addresses.
</p>
