That’s not the current documentation, as evidenced by the “archive” in the URL.
If you want to stay at a lower level the recommendation these days is to use Network.framework. If you want something higher level then use CFNetwork (probably through the classes exported by Foundation like NSURLSession).
I actually found it linked from here, which seems current: https://developer.apple.com/support/ipv6/
It is not best practice to use `getaddrinfo` for DNS resolution, for sure. But it is best practice to use it before connecting to an IP address directly because that address may need to be translated.
