iOS-在仅IPv6的网络上获取设备的DNS服务器地址

Question

I am trying to get device's DNS server address while connected to IPv6 only network on iOS. The following code works well for when connected to IPv4 network but doesn't work on IPv6 network. Code taken from this answer .

res_ninit(&_res);
res_state res = &_res;

for (int i=0; i < res->nscount; i++) {
    sa_family_t family = res->nsaddr_list[i].sin_family;

    if (family == AF_INET) {
      NSLog(@"IPv4");
      char str[INET_ADDRSTRLEN]; // String representation of address
      inet_ntop(AF_INET, & (res->nsaddr_list[i].sin_addr.s_addr), str, INET_ADDRSTRLEN);
    } else if (family == AF_INET6) {
      NSLog(@"IPv6");
      char address[INET6_ADDRSTRLEN]; // String representation of address
      inet_ntop(AF_INET6, &(res->nsaddr_list [i].sin_addr.s_addr), address, INET6_ADDRSTRLEN);
    } else {
      NSLog(@"Unspecified");
    }
}

On IPv6 network, sin_family is always AF_UNSPEC . Any suggestions/alternatives?

Try using res._u._ext.nsaddrs for IPv6.
