How is RPC used in DNS?

Question

Domain Name System

For example, the Browser, in order to find out the IP address of the site, does not send requests somewhere itself, it simply calls a procedure like getIPbyNAME. But in fact, this procedure is performed on the DNS server where the computer sent the DNS request. Correctly? How about more details? And if the list of all procedures?

Answer 1

RPC has nothing to do with it.
What you are interested in is called API - a programming interface provided by the operating system (more often) or some third-party service / library (less often), which hides the process technique from you (forms a request in accordance with RFC, sends it to the network, receives a response , perhaps caches it, provides the program with a response, etc.).
If we're talking about Windows, here's a list of its networking APIs:
