I wonder if we could reuse isLegalPort() from lib/net.js.

EDIT: That would also requiring coercing the value.

I think it might be better to coerce and check the result with isFinite(). Allowing a port number as a string here would be consistent with other subsystems that allow such inputs (e.g. http.request()).

I agree with accepting a string for the port for consistency, but will that make this semver-major since it is a behavior change?

I would say so.

So, in that case, I think that we should at least throw a TypeError if port is not a number first, and then, in a separate PR, change it to coerce the value to a number and make sure it is in the proper port range as a semver-major change. Thoughts?

I definitely think coercion of numbers should be discussed first. I also think that this PR should go forward since it fixes a bug regardless of that issue (non-number ports aren't accepted as of today).

throw new TypeError(`"port" argument must be a number, got "${port}"`);

callback = makeAsync(callback);

var req = new GetNameInfoReqWrap();
