DT-GETNAME(1)

💅 DT-GETNAME — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this is dt-getname from section 1 (User Commands) of the manual, and it's literally the command-line test program for the val_getnameinfo() function. no cap. 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

dt-getname — command-line test program for the val_getnameinfo() function

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dt-getname [options] address

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: this utility is a command-line wrapper around the val_getnameinfo() function. she invokes val_getnameinfo() with the given command-line arguments and then displays the returned host and service information for the given node name, along with a validation status value. iconic behavior honestly. 💖

now the exit status, and listen up because this part is lowkey important:

• 1 — the answer received is trusted
• 2 — the answer received is validated
• -1 — an error happened 😭
• 0 — no validation was performed, or the result was neither trusted nor validated

the trusted and validated status values come from the val_istrusted() and val_isvalidated() functions over in libval(3). periodt. 👑

---

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -p, --port — use the supplied port. and heads up: if a port is specified, service information is not looked up. she said no. 🙈
• -F — use the NI_NOFQDN flag.
• -H — use the NI_NUMERICHOST flag.
• -N — use the NI_NAMEREQD flag.
• -S — use the NI_NUMERICSERV flag.
• -D — use the NI_DGRAM flag.
• -o, --output=<debug-level>:<dest-type>[:<dest-options>] — the whole output situation, bestie. here's the breakdown:
  • <debug-level> is 1-7, corresponding to syslog levels ALERT-DEBUG
  • <dest-type> is one of file, net, syslog, stderr, stdout
  • <dest-options> depends on <dest-type>:
    • file:<file-name> (opened in append mode)
    • net[:<host-name>:<host-port>] (127.0.0.1:1053
    • syslog[:facility] (0-23 (default 1 USER))
• -h, --help — display the help and exit. the classic. 🫶
