class GLib::SrvTarget

SRV (service) records are used by some network protocols to provide service-specific aliasing and load-balancing. For example, XMPP (Jabber) uses SRV records to locate the XMPP server for a domain; rather than connecting directly to “example.com” or assuming a specific server hostname like “xmpp.example.com”, an XMPP client would look up the “xmpp-client” SRV record for “example.com”, and then connect to whatever host was pointed to by that record.

You can use GLib::Resolver#lookup_service or Glib::Resolver#lookup_service_async to find the GLib::SrvTarget objects for a given service. However, if you are simply planning to connect to the remote service, you can use GLib::NetworkService’s GLib::SocketConnectable interface and not need to worry about GLib::SrvTarget at all.

GLib::SrvTarget.new(hostname, port, priority, weight)

Creates a new GLib::SrvTarget with the given parameters.

You should not need to use this; normally GLib::SrvTarget objects are created by GLib::Resolver.

• hostname: The host that the service is running on
• port: The port that the service is running on
• priority: The target’s priority
• weight: The target’s weight
• Returns: a new GLib::SrvTarget

hostname

Gets the hostname (in ASCII form; if you are going to present this to the user, you should use Glib.hostname_is_ascii_encoded? to check if it contains encoded Unicode segments, and use GLib.hostname_to_unicode to convert it if it does.)

Since 2.22

• Returns: The hostname

port

Gets the port

Since 2.22

• Returns: The port

priority

Gets the priority. You should not need to look at this; GLib::Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

Since 2.22

• Returns: The priority

weight

Gets thei weight. You should not need to look at this; GLib::Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

Since 2.22

• Returns: The weight
