Details¶

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

classmethod new(hostname, port, priority, weight)[source]¶

Parameters:	hostname (`str`) – the host that the service is running on port (`int`) – the port that the service is running on priority (`int`) – the target’s priority weight (`int`) – the target’s weight
Returns:	a new `Gio.SrvTarget`.
Return type:	`Gio.SrvTarget`

Creates a new Gio.SrvTarget with the given parameters.

You should not need to use this; normally Gio.SrvTargets are created by Gio.Resolver.

New in version 2.22.

copy()[source]¶

Returns:	a copy of self
Return type:	`Gio.SrvTarget`

Copies self

New in version 2.22.

free()[source]¶: Frees self

New in version 2.22.

get_hostname()[source]¶

Returns:	self’s hostname
Return type:	`str`

Gets self’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.)

New in version 2.22.

get_port()[source]¶

Returns:	self’s port
Return type:	`int`

Gets self’s port

New in version 2.22.

get_priority()[source]¶

Returns:	self’s priority
Return type:	`int`

Gets self’s priority. You should not need to look at this; Gio.Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

New in version 2.22.

get_weight()[source]¶

Returns:	self’s weight
Return type:	`int`

Gets self’s weight. You should not need to look at this; Gio.Resolver already sorts the targets according to the algorithm in RFC 2782.

New in version 2.22.
