ResolveNames Property

Determines whether the component resolves the host name for each host during the trace.

Syntax

 traceroute.getResolveNames([callback])
 traceroute.setResolveNames( resolveNames, [callback])

Default Value

FALSE

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getResolveNames([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setResolveNames([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property determines whether the class resolves the name of host at each "hop" during the trace. The default value is "False". Please note that the trace takes longer due to name resolution if this property is set to "True".
