138<p><code class="function">lwres_string_parse()</code>
139      retrieves a DNS-encoded string starting the current pointer of
140      lightweight resolver buffer <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>: i.e.
141      <code class="constant">b-&gt;current</code>.  When the function returns,
142      the address of the first byte of the encoded string is returned
143      via <em class="parameter"><code>*c</code></em> and the length of that string is
144      given by <em class="parameter"><code>*len</code></em>.  The buffer's current
145      pointer is advanced to point at the character following the
146      string length, the encoded string, and the trailing
147      <span class="type">NULL</span> character.
148    </p>
149<p><code class="function">lwres_addr_parse()</code>
150      extracts an address from the buffer <em class="parameter"><code>b</code></em>.
151      The buffer's current pointer <code class="constant">b-&gt;current</code>
152      is presumed to point at an encoded address: the address preceded
153      by a 32-bit protocol family identifier and a 16-bit length
154      field.  The encoded address is copied to
155      <code class="constant">addr-&gt;address</code> and
156      <code class="constant">addr-&gt;length</code> indicates the size in bytes
157      of the address that was copied.
158      <code class="constant">b-&gt;current</code> is advanced to point at the
159      next byte of available data in the buffer following the encoded
160      address.
161    </p>
162<p><code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>
163      and <code class="function">lwres_getnamebyaddr()</code> use the
164      <span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span> structure defined below:
165    </p>
166<pre class="programlisting">
167typedef struct {
168        lwres_uint32_t          flags;
169        lwres_uint16_t          naliases;
170        lwres_uint16_t          naddrs;
171        char                   *realname;
172        char                  **aliases;
173        lwres_uint16_t          realnamelen;
174        lwres_uint16_t         *aliaslen;
175        lwres_addrlist_t        addrs;
176        void                   *base;
177        size_t                  baselen;
178} lwres_gabnresponse_t;
179</pre>
180<p>
181      The contents of this structure are not manipulated directly but
182      they are controlled through the
183      <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">lwres_gabn</span>(3)</span>
184      functions.
185    </p>
186<p>
187      The lightweight resolver uses
188      <code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code> to perform
189      forward lookups.
190      Hostname <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> is looked up using the
191      resolver
192      context <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> for memory allocation.
193      <em class="parameter"><code>addrtypes</code></em> is a bitmask indicating
194      which type of
195      addresses are to be looked up.  Current values for this bitmask are
196      <span class="type">LWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4</span> for IPv4 addresses and
197      <span class="type">LWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6</span> for IPv6 addresses.  Results of the
198      lookup are returned in <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.
199    </p>
200<p><code class="function">lwres_getnamebyaddr()</code>
201      performs reverse lookups.  Resolver context
202      <em class="parameter"><code>ctx</code></em> is used for memory allocation.  The
203      address type is indicated by <em class="parameter"><code>addrtype</code></em>:
204      <span class="type">LWRES_ADDRTYPE_V4</span> or
205      <span class="type">LWRES_ADDRTYPE_V6</span>.  The address to be looked up is
206      given by <em class="parameter"><code>addr</code></em> and its length is
207      <em class="parameter"><code>addrlen</code></em> bytes.  The result of the
208      function call is made available through
209      <em class="parameter"><code>*structp</code></em>.

214<p>
215      Successful calls to

221      Both functions return

223      if the buffer is corrupt or
224      <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
225      if the buffer has less space than expected for the components of the
226      encoded string or address.
227    </p>
228<p><code class="function">lwres_getaddrsbyname()</code>
229      returns <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_SUCCESS</span> on success and it
230      returns <span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_NOTFOUND</span> if the hostname
231      <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em> could not be found.
232    </p>
233<p><span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_SUCCESS</span>

242      return
