DnsServiceResolve function (windns.h)

Used to obtain more information about a service advertised on the local network.

Syntax

DNS_STATUS DnsServiceResolve(
  PDNS_SERVICE_RESOLVE_REQUEST pRequest,
  PDNS_SERVICE_CANCEL          pCancel
);

Parameters

pRequest

A pointer to a DNS_SERVICE_RESOLVE_REQUEST structure that contains the resolve request information.

pCancel

A pointer to a DNS_SERVICE_CANCEL structure that can be used to cancel a pending asynchronous resolve operation. This handle must remain valid until the query is canceled.

Return value

If successful, returns DNS_REQUEST_PENDING; otherwise, returns the appropriate DNS-specific error code as defined in Winerror.h. For extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

This function is asynchronous. Upon completion, the resolve callback will be invoked for each result. In contrast to DnsServiceBrowse—which returns the service name as a minimum—DnsServiceResolve can be used to retrieve additional information, such as hostname, IP address, and TEXT records.
