## Detailed Description

DNS SRV record target.

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 Resolver::lookup_service() or Resolver::lookup_service_async() to find the SrvTargets for a given service. However, if you are simply planning to connect to the remote service, you can use NetworkService's SocketConnectable interface and not need to worry about SrvTarget at all.

## Member Function Documentation

Glib::ustring Gio::SrvTarget::get_hostname | ( |  | ) | const

Gets target's 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.

)

Returns:
  target's hostname

Since glibmm 2.22:

guint16 Gio::SrvTarget::get_port | ( |  | ) | const

Gets target's port.

Returns:
  target's port

Since glibmm 2.22:

guint16 Gio::SrvTarget::get_priority | ( |  | ) | const

Gets target's priority.

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

Returns:
  target's priority

Since glibmm 2.22:

guint16 Gio::SrvTarget::get_weight | ( |  | ) | const

Gets target's weight.

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

Returns:
  target's weight

Since glibmm 2.22:

const GSrvTarget* Gio::SrvTarget::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GSrvTarget* Gio::SrvTarget::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C instance.

GSrvTarget* Gio::SrvTarget::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) | const

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for freeing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## Friends And Related Function Documentation

Gio::SrvTarget wrap | ( | GSrvTarget * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = `false` |
| ) |  |  | `[related]`

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters:

  | object | The C instance.
  | take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns:
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
