=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<BIO_ADDRINFO> type is a wrapper for address information
types provided on your platform.

B<BIO_ADDRINFO> normally forms a chain of several that can be
picked at one by one.

BIO_lookup() looks up a specified B<host> and B<service>, and
uses B<lookup_type> to determine what the default address should
be if B<host> is B<NULL>.  B<family>, B<socktype> are used to
determine what protocol family and protocol should be used for
the lookup.  B<family> can be any of AF_INET, AF_INET6, AF_UNIX and
AF_UNSPEC, and B<socktype> can be SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM.
B<res> points at a pointer to hold the start of a B<BIO_ADDRINFO>
chain.
For the family B<AF_UNIX>, BIO_lookup() will ignore the B<service>
parameter and expects the B<node> parameter to hold the path to the
socket file.

BIO_ADDRINFO_family() returns the family of the given
B<BIO_ADDRINFO>.  The result will be one of the constants
AF_INET, AF_INET6 and AF_UNIX.

BIO_ADDRINFO_socktype() returns the socket type of the given
B<BIO_ADDRINFO>.  The result will be one of the constants
SOCK_STREAM and SOCK_DGRAM.

BIO_ADDRINFO_protocol() returns the protocol id of the given
B<BIO_ADDRINFO>.  The result will be one of the constants
IPPROTO_TCP and IPPROTO_UDP.

BIO_ADDRINFO_address() returns the underlying B<BIO_ADDR>
of the given B<BIO_ADDRINFO>.

BIO_ADDRINFO_next() returns the next B<BIO_ADDRINFO> in the chain
from the given one.

BIO_ADDRINFO_free() frees the chain of B<BIO_ADDRINFO> starting
with the given one.

=head1 RETURN VALUES

BIO_lookup() returns 1 on success and 0 when an error occurred, and
will leave an error indication on the OpenSSL error stack in that case.

All other functions described here return 0 or B<NULL> when the
information they should return isn't available.
