><CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_create()</CODE
>
creates a
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>
structure for use in lightweight resolver operations.
It holds a socket and other data needed for communicating
with a resolver daemon.
The new
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>
is returned through
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>contextp</VAR
>,

a pointer to a
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>
pointer.  This 
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>
pointer must initially be NULL, and is modified 
to point to the newly created
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>.&#13;</P
><P
>When the lightweight resolver needs to perform dynamic memory
allocation, it will call
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>malloc_function</VAR
>
to allocate memory and
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>free_function</VAR
>

to free it.  If 
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>malloc_function</VAR
>
and
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>free_function</VAR
>

are NULL, memory is allocated using
.Xr malloc 3
and
<SPAN
CLASS="CITEREFENTRY"
><SPAN
CLASS="REFENTRYTITLE"
>free</SPAN
>(3)</SPAN
>.

It is not permitted to have a NULL
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>malloc_function</VAR
>
and a non-NULL
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>free_function</VAR
>
or vice versa.
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>arg</VAR
>
is passed as the first parameter to the memory
allocation functions.  
If
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>malloc_function</VAR
>
and
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>free_function</VAR
>
are NULL,
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>arg</VAR
>

is unused and should be passed as NULL.</P
><P
>Once memory for the structure has been allocated,
it is initialized using
<SPAN
CLASS="CITEREFENTRY"
><SPAN
CLASS="REFENTRYTITLE"
>lwres_conf_init</SPAN
>(3)</SPAN
>

and returned via
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>*contextp</VAR
>.&#13;</P
><P
><CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_destroy()</CODE
>
destroys a 
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_context_t</SPAN
>,

closing its socket.
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>contextp</VAR
>
is a pointer to a pointer to the context that is to be destroyed.
The pointer will be set to NULL when the context has been destroyed.</P
><P
>The context holds a serial number that is used to identify resolver
request packets and associate responses with the corresponding requests.
This serial number is controlled using
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_initserial()</CODE
>
and
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_nextserial()</CODE
>.
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_initserial()</CODE
>
sets the serial number for context
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>*ctx</VAR
>
to
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>serial</VAR
>.

<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_nextserial()</CODE
>
increments the serial number and returns the previous value.</P
><P
>Memory for a lightweight resolver context is allocated and freed using
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_allocmem()</CODE
>
and
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_freemem()</CODE
>.
These use whatever allocations were defined when the context was
created with
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_create()</CODE
>.
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_allocmem()</CODE
>
allocates
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>len</VAR
>
bytes of memory and if successful returns a pointer to the allocated
storage.
<CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_freemem()</CODE
>
frees
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>len</VAR
>
bytes of space starting at location
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>mem</VAR
>.&#13;</P
><P
><CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_context_sendrecv()</CODE
>
performs I/O for the context
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>ctx</VAR
>.

Data are read and written from the context's socket.
It writes data from
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>sendbase</VAR
>
&mdash; typically a lightweight resolver query packet &mdash;
and waits for a reply which is copied to the receive buffer at
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>recvbase</VAR
>.

The number of bytes that were written to this receive buffer is
returned in
<VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>*recvd_len</VAR
>.&#13;</P
