// -=-=- StartHere -=-=- // // # Chapter I: Using the "stdlib" DNS resolver // // In this chapter we will write together a `main.go` file that // uses the "stdlib" DNS resolver to lookup domain names. // // The "stdlib" resolver is `getaddrinfo` on Unix. If we're compiled with // `CGO_ENABLED=1`, we use the `getaddrinfo` stdlib call directly. Otherwise, // we use the `net.Resolver` resolver, which may or may not use // `getaddrinfo` (or equivalent stdlib calls) under the hood. // // (This file is auto-generated from the corresponding source file, // so make sure you don't edit it manually.) // // ## The main.go file // // We define `main.go` file using `package main`. // // ```Go package main import ( "context" "errors" "flag" "os" "time" "github.com/apex/log" "github.com/ooni/probe-cli/v3/internal/netxlite" ) func main() { // ``` // // The beginning of the program is equal to the previous chapters, // so there is not much to say about it. // // ```Go log.SetLevel(log.DebugLevel) hostname := flag.String("hostname", "dns.google", "Hostname to resolve") timeout := flag.Duration("timeout", 60*time.Second, "Timeout") flag.Parse() ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), *timeout) defer cancel() // ``` // // We create a new resolver using the standard library to perform // domain name resolutions. Unless you're cross compiling, this // resolver will call the system resolver using a C API. On Unix // the called C API is `getaddrinfo`. // // The returned resolver implements an interface that is very // close to the API of the `net.Resolver` struct. // // ```Go reso := netxlite.NewStdlibResolver(log.Log) // ``` // // We call `LookupHost` to map the hostname to IP addrs. The returned // value is either a list of addrs or an error. // // ```Go addrs, err := reso.LookupHost(ctx, *hostname) if err != nil { fatal(err) } log.Infof("resolver addrs: %+v", addrs) } // ``` // // This function is exactly like it was in previous chapters. // // ```Go func fatal(err error) { var ew *netxlite.ErrWrapper if !errors.As(err, &ew) { log.Fatal("cannot get ErrWrapper") } log.Warnf("error string : %s", err.Error()) log.Warnf("OONI failure : %s", ew.Failure) log.Warnf("failed operation: %s", ew.Operation) log.Warnf("underlying error: %+v", ew.WrappedErr) os.Exit(1) } // ``` // // ## Running the code // // ### Vanilla run // // You can now run this code as follows: // // ```bash // go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter05 // ``` // // You will see debug logs describing what is happening along with timing info. // // ### NXDOMAIN error // // ```bash // go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter05 -hostname antani.ooni.io // ``` // // should cause a `dns_nxdomain_error`, because the domain does not exist. // // ### Timeout // // ```bash // go run -race ./internal/tutorial/netxlite/chapter05 -timeout 10us // ``` // // should cause a timeout error, because the timeout is ridicolously small. // // ## Conclusions // // We have seen how to use the "stdlib" DNS resolver.
