class Gio::SrvTarget

Overview

A single target host/port that a network service is running on.

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 GSrvTargets 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 GSrvTarget at all.
