ares_addr6ttl in order to prevent name space pollution, along with necessary changes to code base and man pages.This change does not break ABI, there is no need to recompile existing applications. But existing applications using these structs with the old name will need source code adjustments when recompiled using c-ares 1.6.1.

|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
ares_parse_a_reply \- Parse a reply to a DNS query of type A
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <ares.h>
|
|
.PP
|
|
.B int ares_parse_a_reply(const unsigned char *\fIabuf\fP, int \fIalen\fP,
|
|
.B struct hostent **\fIhost\fP,
|
|
.B struct ares_addrttl *\fIaddrttls\fB, int *\fInaddrttls\fB);
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.B ares_parse_a_reply
|
|
function parses the response to a query of type A into a
|
|
.BR "struct hostent"
|
|
and/or an array of
|
|
.BR "struct ares_addrttls" .
|
|
The parameters
|
|
.I abuf
|
|
and
|
|
.I alen
|
|
give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated
|
|
memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by
|
|
.IR host ,
|
|
if host is nonnull.
|
|
It is the caller's responsibility to free the resulting host structure
|
|
using
|
|
.BR ares_free_hostent (3)
|
|
when it is no longer needed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If
|
|
.IR addrttls
|
|
and
|
|
.IR naddrttls
|
|
are both nonnull,
|
|
then up to *naddrttls
|
|
.BR "struct ares_addrttl"
|
|
records are stored in the array pointed to by addrttls,
|
|
and then *naddrttls is set to the number of records so stored.
|
|
Note that the memory for these records is supplied by the caller.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
