Subject: gai.conf(5): Example table
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 00:04:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <aVr_-WDqRyRBL_G_@gallifrey> (raw)
Hi,
The 'EXAMPLES' section in gai.conf(5) has a table that matches
RFC 3484; however that's not what glibc's default label table is;
it's table has three extra entries:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=nss/getaddrinfo.c;h=c0f496f96c752220e68bf0257d9ff1ffc624ebe6;hb=HEAD#l1341
and partially in the more readable:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=blob;f=posix/gai.conf;h=4616ed005b2e064175c88609b6d6022a6da4d5d8;hb=HEAD#l31
I wonder if it makes sense to document glibc's default rather than the
RFC default?
Dave
