<a name="id2514646"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and 
response messages.
</p>
<p>
There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure &#8212;
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span> &#8212;
to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
canonical format to a getaddrbyname request structure.
Another render function converts the getaddrbyname response structure &#8212;
<span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span> &#8212;
to the canonical format.
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
</p>
<p>
These structures are defined in
<code class="filename">&lt;lwres/lwres.h&gt;</code>.
They are shown below.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">

        char           *name;
} lwres_gabnrequest_t;

typedef struct {

<p>
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_render()</code>
uses resolver context
<em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em>
to convert getaddrbyname request structure
<em class="parameter"><code>req</code></em>
to canonical format.
The packet header structure
<em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em>
is initialised and transferred to
buffer
<em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.

The contents of
<em class="parameter"><code>*req</code></em>
are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_render()</code>
performs the same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
<span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span>
to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
uses context
<em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em>
to convert the contents of packet
<em class="parameter"><code>pkt</code></em>
to a
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span>
structure.
Buffer
<em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>
provides space to be used for storing this structure.
When the function succeeds, the resulting
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span>
is made available through
<em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.

<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</code>
offers the same semantics as
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
except it yields a
<span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span>
structure.
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_free()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_free()</code>
release the memory in resolver context
<em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em>
that was allocated to the
<span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span>
or
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span>
structures referenced via
<em class="parameter"><code>structp</code></em>.

Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
structures is also discarded.

<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2514906"></a><h2>RETURN VALUES</h2>
<p>
The getaddrbyname opcode functions
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_render()</code>, 
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_render()</code>
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</code>
all return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_SUCCESS</span>
on success.
They return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</span>
if memory allocation fails.
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
is returned if the available space in the buffer
<em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>
is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
<span class="type">lwres_gabnrequest_t</span>
and
<span class="type">lwres_gabnresponse_t</span>
structures.
<code class="function">lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</code>
will return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
These functions will return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_FAILURE</span>
if
<em class="structfield"><code>pktflags</code></em>
in the packet header structure
<span class="type">lwres_lwpacket_t</span>
indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
