.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
The
|
||
|
|
.B ares_mkquery
|
||
|
|
function composes a DNS query with a single question.
|
||
|
|
The parameter
|
||
|
|
.I name
|
||
|
|
gives the query name as a NUL-terminated C string of period-separated
|
||
|
|
labels optionally ending with a period; periods and backslashes within
|
||
|
|
a label must be escaped with a backlash. The parameters
|
||
|
|
.I dnsclass
|
||
|
|
and
|
||
|
|
.I type
|
||
|
|
give the class and type of the query using the values defined in
|
||
|
|
.BR <arpa/nameser.h> .
|
||
|
|
The parameter
|
||
|
|
.I id
|
||
|
|
gives a 16-bit identifier for the query. The parameter
|
||
|
|
.I rd
|
||
|
|
should be nonzero if recursion is desired, zero if not. The query
|
||
|
|
will be placed in an allocated buffer, a pointer to which will be
|
||
|
|
stored in the variable pointed to by
|
||
|
|
.IR buf ,
|
||
|
|
and the length of which will be stored in the variable pointed to by
|
||
|
|
.IR buflen .
|
||
|
|
It is the caller's responsibility to free this buffer using
|
||
|
|
.B ares_free_string
|
||
|
|
when it is no longer needed.
|
||
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
||
|
|
.B ares_mkquery
|
||
|
|
can return any of the following values:
|
||
|
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS
|
||
|
|
Construction of the DNS query succeeded.
|
||
|
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
|
.B ARES_EBADNAME
|
||
|
|
The query name
|
||
|
|
.I name
|
||
|
|
could not be encoded as a domain name, either because it contained a
|
||
|
|
zero-length label or because it contained a label of more than 63
|
||
|
|
characters.
|
||
|
|
.TP 15
|
||
|
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM
|
||
|
|
Memory was exhausted.
