When the function returns, the address of the first byte of the encoded string is returned via +\fI*c\fR +and the length of that string is given by +\fI*len\fR. The buffer's current pointer is advanced to point at the character following the string length, the encoded string, and the trailing +\fBNULL\fR +character. +.PP +\fBlwres_addr_parse()\fR +extracts an address from the buffer +\fIb\fR. The buffer's current pointer +\fBb\->current\fR +is presumed to point at an encoded address: the address preceded by a 32\-bit protocol family identifier and a 16\-bit length field. The encoded address is copied to +\fBaddr\->address\fR +and +\fBaddr\->length\fR +indicates the size in bytes of the address that was copied. +\fBb\->current\fR +is advanced to point at the next byte of available data in the buffer following the encoded address. +.PP +\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR +and +\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR +use the +\fBlwres_gnbaresponse_t\fR +structure defined below: +.PP +.RS 4 +.nf +typedef struct { + lwres_uint32_t flags; + lwres_uint16_t naliases; + lwres_uint16_t naddrs; + char *realname; + char **aliases; + lwres_uint16_t realnamelen; + lwres_uint16_t *aliaslen; + lwres_addrlist_t addrs; + void *base; + size_t baselen; +} lwres_gabnresponse_t; +.fi +.RE +.PP +The contents of this structure are not manipulated directly but they are controlled through the +\fBlwres_gabn\fR(3) +functions. +.PP +The lightweight resolver uses +\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR +to perform foward lookups. Hostname +\fIname\fR +is looked up using the resolver context +\fIctx\fR +for memory allocation. +\fIaddrtypes\fR +is a bitmask indicating which type of addresses are to be looked up. Current values for this bitmask are +\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4\fR +for IPv4 addresses and +\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6\fR +for IPv6 addresses. Results of the lookup are returned in +\fI*structp\fR. +.PP +\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR +performs reverse lookups. Resolver context +\fIctx\fR +is used for memory allocation. The address type is indicated by +\fIaddrtype\fR: +\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4\fR +or +\fBLWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6\fR. The address to be looked up is given by +\fIaddr\fR +and its length is +\fIaddrlen\fR +bytes. The result of the function call is made available through +\fI*structp\fR. +.SH "RETURN VALUES" +.PP +Successful calls to +\fBlwres_string_parse()\fR +and +\fBlwres_addr_parse()\fR +return +\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS.\fR +Both functions return +\fBLWRES_R_FAILURE\fR +if the buffer is corrupt or +\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR +if the buffer has less space than expected for the components of the encoded string or address. +.PP +\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR +returns +\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR +on success and it returns +\fBLWRES_R_NOTFOUND\fR +if the hostname +\fIname\fR +could not be found. +.PP +\fBLWRES_R_SUCCESS\fR +is returned by a successful call to +\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR. +.PP +Both +\fBlwres_getaddrsbyname()\fR +and +\fBlwres_getnamebyaddr()\fR +return +\fBLWRES_R_NOMEMORY\fR +when memory allocation requests fail and +\fBLWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND\fR +if the buffers used for sending queries and receiving replies are too small. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.PP +\fBlwres_buffer\fR(3), +\fBlwres_gabn\fR(3). +.SH "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright \(co 2004, 2005, 2007 Internet Systems Consortium, Inc.
