Re: query on dns resolver

[Dmitry Belyavsky <beldmit@xxxxxxxxx>]

OpenSSL uses gethostbyname/gethostbyaddr

grep -r gethost . will give you some clues

I was looking at the openssl 1.0.2j code and trying to find how it resolves the dns domain name IP address from name. 

1. Does it use the OS supported utilities like nslookup, gethostip etc? 

2. Do we need a recursive dns server IP address to define in resolv.conf?

3. Can I  know the APIs and files where I can start looking (for the dns resolution).

Thank you for your time.
