man getaddrinfo:



 int getaddrinfo(const char *node, const char *service,
const struct addrinfo *hints,
struct addrinfo **res);



Either node or service, but not both, may be NULL.




Specifying node only is comprehensible, then it gives you all the available services related to one particular host. But what does it mean if only specify a service without a node/host ? Scanning all hosts in the Web ?
