Parameters

Parameter

Description

HostName

string version of the queryable hostname or ip address

ServiceName

string version of a service name ("http") or a port number ("80")

QueryFlags

What flags are used in making the getaddrinfo call. Several flags can be used at once by bitwise OR-ing the flags together. Platforms are required to translate this value into a the correct flag representation.

ProtocolType

Used to limit results from the call. Specifying None will search all valid protocols. Callers will find they rarely have to specify this flag.

SocketType

What socket type should the results be formatted for. This typically does not change any formatting results and can be safely left to the default value.
