net functions

The net namespace contains functions that can help deal with network-related lookups and calculations. Some of these functions return specifically-typed values that contain additional methods useful for formatting or further calculations.

net.LookupIP

Resolve an IPv4 address for a given host name. When multiple IP addresses are resolved, the first one is returned.

Added in gomplate v1.9.0

Usage

net.LookupIP name
name | net.LookupIP

Arguments

name description
name (required) The hostname to look up. This can be a simple hostname, or a fully-qualified domain name.

Examples

$ gomplate -i '{{ net.LookupIP "example.com" }}'
93.184.216.34

net.LookupIPs

Resolve all IPv4 addresses for a given host name. Returns an array of strings.

Added in gomplate v1.9.0

Usage

net.LookupIPs name
name | net.LookupIPs

Arguments

name description
name (required) The hostname to look up. This can be a simple hostname, or a fully-qualified domain name.

Examples

$ gomplate -i '{{ join (net.LookupIPs "twitter.com") "," }}'
104.244.42.65,104.244.42.193

net.LookupCNAME

Resolve the canonical name for a given host name. This does a DNS lookup for the CNAME record type. If no CNAME is present, a canonical form of the given name is returned – e.g. net.LookupCNAME "localhost" will return "localhost.".

Added in gomplate v1.9.0

Usage

net.LookupCNAME name
name | net.LookupCNAME

Arguments

name description
name (required) The hostname to look up. This can be a simple hostname, or a fully-qualified domain name.

Examples

$ gomplate -i '{{ net.LookupCNAME "www.amazon.com" }}'
d3ag4hukkh62yn.cloudfront.net.

net.LookupSRV

Resolve a DNS SRV service record. This implementation supports the canonical RFC2782 form (i.e. _Service._Proto.Name), but other forms are also supported, such as those served by Consul’s DNS interface.

When multiple records are returned, this function returns the first.

A net.SRV data structure is returned. The following properties are available:

  • Target - (string) the hostname where the service can be reached
  • Port - (uint16) the service’s port
  • Priority, Weight - see RFC2782 for details

Added in gomplate v1.9.0

Usage

net.LookupSRV name
name | net.LookupSRV

Arguments

name description
name (required) The service name to look up

Examples

$ gomplate -i '{{ net.LookupSRV "_sip._udp.sip.voice.google.com" | toJSONPretty "  " }}'
{
  "Port": 5060,
  "Priority": 10,
  "Target": "sip-anycast-1.voice.google.com.",
  "Weight": 1
}

net.LookupSRVs

Resolve a DNS SRV service record. This implementation supports the canonical RFC2782 form (i.e. _Service._Proto.Name), but other forms are also supported, such as those served by Consul’s DNS interface.

This function returns all available SRV records.

An array of net.SRV data structures is returned. For each element, the following properties are available:

  • Target - (string) the hostname where the service can be reached
  • Port - (uint16) the service’s port
