This family of functions allows you to perform lookups of Hesiod
information, which is stored as text records in the Domain Name
-Service. To perform lookups, you must first initialize a
-.IR context ,
+Service.
+To perform lookups, you must first initialize a
+.Fa context ,
an opaque object which stores information used internally by the
library between calls.
-.I hesiod_init
+.Fn hesiod_init
initializes a context, storing a pointer to the context in the
location pointed to by the
-.I context
+.Fa context
argument.
-.I hesiod_end
+.Fn hesiod_end
frees the resources used by a context.

+.Fn hesiod_resolve

+If successful, it returns a
list of one or more strings giving the records matching

and

-The last element of the list is followed by a NULL pointer. It is the
+.Fa type .
+The last element of the list is followed by a

+pointer.
+It is the
caller's responsibility to call
-.I hesiod_free_list
+.Fn hesiod_free_list
to free the resources used by the returned list.
-.PP
-.I hesiod_to_bind

+.Fn hesiod_to_bind
converts
-.I name

+.Fn hesiod_resolve .
It is the caller's responsibility to free the returned string using
