# wrapsrv(1)

DNS SRV record command line wrapper

## NAME

wrapsrv - DNS SRV record command line wrapper

## SYNOPSIS

**wrapsrv**  \[*SRVNAME*\] \[*COMMAND*\] \[*OPTION*\]...

## DESCRIPTION

**wrapsrv** adds support for connecting to a network service based on DNS SRV record lookups to commands that do not support the DNS SRV record. **wrapsrv** implements the weighted priority client connection algorithm in RFC 2782. The specified command line will be invoked one or more times with *%h* and *%p* sequences in the command line substituted for the hostname and port elements of the selected SRV record. The command line invoked must exit and return 0 after a successful connection or exit and return non-zero if the connection fails. **wrapsrv** will itself exit with the return code of the last command line invocation, or it may exit with a non-zero return code if the DNS SRV record lookup fails for any reason.
