The
dnsPromises.reverse() method
is an inbuilt application programming interface of the promises object of dns module which is used to resolve hostname for the specified IP address using reverse DNS query.
Syntax:
dnsPromises.reverse(ip_address)Parameters:
This method has one parameter as mentioned above and described below:
- ip_address: This parameter specifies an IP address (IPv4 or IPv6) to be resolved.
Return Value:
This method returns error, hostname. Below examples illustrate the use of
dnsPromises.reverse() method
in Node.js:
Example 1:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.reverse() method
// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;
// Calling dnsPromises.reverse() method
dnsPromises.reverse('31.13.66.35').then((res) => {
console.log(res);
});
Output:
[ 'edge-star-mini-shv-01-iad3.facebook.com' ]
Example 2:
// Node.js program to demonstrate the
// dnsPromises.reverse() method
// Accessing promises object from dns module
const dns = require('dns');
const dnsPromises = dns.promises;
// Calling dnsPromises.reverse() method
// asynchronously
(async function() {
// Records from reverse function
const records = await dnsPromises.reverse(
'34.218.62.116');
// Printing records
console.log("from async: ");
console.log(records);
})();
Output:
from async:
[ 'ec2-34-218-62-116.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com' ]
Note:
The above program will compile and run by using the
node index.js
command.
