Overview

Gem::Resolv::MDNS is a one-shot Multicast DNS (mDNS) resolver. It blindly makes queries to the mDNS addresses without understanding anything about multicast ports.

Information taken form the following places:

  • RFC 6762

Constructor Details

#initialize(config_info = nil) ⇒ MDNS

Creates a new one-shot Multicast DNS (mDNS) resolver.

config_info can be:

nil

Uses the default mDNS addresses

Hash

Must contain :nameserver or :nameserver_port like Gem::Resolv::DNS#initialize.

end

Instance Method Details

#each_address(name) ⇒ Object

Iterates over all IP addresses for name retrieved from the mDNS resolver, provided name ends with “local”. If the name does not end in “local” no records will be returned.

name can be a Gem::Resolv::DNS::Name or a String. Retrieved addresses will be a Gem::Resolv::IPv4 or Gem::Resolv::IPv6
