<p>
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
gets a set of resource records associated with a
<em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>,

<em class="parameter"><code>class</code></em>,

and
<em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.

<em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em>
is
a pointer a to null-terminated string.  The
<em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em>
field is currently unused and must be zero.
</p>
<p>
After a successful call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>,

<em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em>
is a pointer to an
<span class="type">rrsetinfo</span>
structure, containing a list of one or more
<span class="type">rdatainfo</span>
structures containing resource records and potentially another list of
<span class="type">rdatainfo</span>
structures containing SIG resource records
associated with those records.
The members
<code class="constant">rri_rdclass</code>
and
<code class="constant">rri_rdtype</code>
are copied from the parameters.
<code class="constant">rri_ttl</code>
and
<code class="constant">rri_name</code>
are properties of the obtained rrset.
The resource records contained in
<code class="constant">rri_rdatas</code>
and
<code class="constant">rri_sigs</code>
are in uncompressed DNS wire format.
Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
<code class="constant">rri_flags</code>
bitfield.  If the RRSET_VALIDATED bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC
validated and the signatures verified.  
</p>
<p>
All of the information returned by
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
is dynamically allocated: the
<code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code>
and
<code class="constant">rdatainfo</code>
structures,
and the canonical host name strings pointed to by the
<code class="constant">rrsetinfo</code>structure.

Memory allocated for the dynamically allocated structures created by
a successful call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>
is released by
<code class="function">lwres_freerrset()</code>.

<em class="parameter"><code>rrset</code></em>
is a pointer to a
<span class="type">struct rrset</span>
created by a call to
<code class="function">lwres_getrrsetbyname()</code>.
