.TH ARES_PARSE_PTR_REPLY 3 "25 July 1998"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ares_parse_ptr_reply \- Parse a reply to a DNS query of type PTR into a hostent
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B
|
|
int ares_parse_ptr_reply(const unsigned char *\fIabuf\fB, int \fIalen\fB,
|
|
.B
|
|
const void *\fIaddr\fP, int \fIaddrlen\fP, int \fIfamily\fP,
|
|
.B struct hostent **\fIhost\fB);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_parse_ptr_reply
|
|
function parses the response to a query of type PTR into a
|
|
.BR "struct hostent" .
|
|
The parameters
|
|
.I abuf
|
|
and
|
|
.I alen
|
|
give the contents of the response. The parameters
|
|
.IR addr ,
|
|
.IR addrlen ,
|
|
and
|
|
.I family
|
|
specify which address was queried for; they are not used to verify the
|
|
response, merely used to fill in the address of the
|
|
.BR "struct hostent" .
|
|
The resulting
|
|
.B struct hostent
|
|
is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the
|
|
variable pointed to by
|
|
.IR host .
|
|
It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure
|
|
using
|
|
.BR ares_free_hostent (3)
|
|
when it is no longer needed.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
.B ares_parse_ptr_reply
|
|
can return any of the following values:
|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS
|
|

|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_EBADRESP
|
|

|
|
.TP 15
|
|
.B ARES_ENODATA
|
|
The response did not contain an answer to the query.
|
|
.TP 15
