<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and 
response messages.
</para><para>
There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
One render function converts a getaddrbyname request structure &mdash;
<type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type> &mdash;
to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
canonical format to a getaddrbyname request structure.
Another render function converts the getaddrbyname response structure &mdash;
<type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type> &mdash;
to the canonical format.
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.
</para>
<para>
These structures are defined in
<filename>&lt;lwres/lwres.h&gt;</filename>.
They are shown below.
<programlisting>
#define LWRES_OPCODE_GETADDRSBYNAME     0x00010001U

typedef struct lwres_addr lwres_addr_t;

</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>
uses resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>
to convert getaddrbyname request structure
<parameter>req</parameter>
to canonical format.
The packet header structure
<parameter>pkt</parameter>
is initialised and transferred to
buffer
<parameter>b</parameter>.

The contents of
<parameter>*req</parameter>
are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
<function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function>
performs the same task, except it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
<type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>
to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
uses context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>
to convert the contents of packet
<parameter>pkt</parameter>
to a
<type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>
structure.
Buffer
<parameter>b</parameter>
provides space to be used for storing this structure.
When the function succeeds, the resulting
<type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>
is made available through
<parameter>*structp</parameter>.

<function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>
offers the same semantics as
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
except it yields a
<type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>
structure.
</para>
<para>
<function>lwres_gabnresponse_free()</function>
and
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_free()</function>
release the memory in resolver context
<parameter>ctx</parameter>
that was allocated to the
<type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>
or
<type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>
structures referenced via
<parameter>structp</parameter>.

Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
structures is also discarded.
</para>

<title>RETURN VALUES</title>
<para>
The getaddrbyname opcode functions
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_render()</function>, 
<function>lwres_gabnresponse_render()</function>
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
and
<function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>
all return
<errorcode>LWRES_R_SUCCESS</errorcode>
on success.
They return
<errorcode>LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</errorcode>
if memory allocation fails.
<errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
is returned if the available space in the buffer
<parameter>b</parameter>
is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
<type>lwres_gabnrequest_t</type>
and
<type>lwres_gabnresponse_t</type>
structures.
<function>lwres_gabnrequest_parse()</function>
and
<function>lwres_gabnresponse_parse()</function>
will return
<errorcode>LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</errorcode>
if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
These functions will return
<errorcode>LWRES_R_FAILURE</errorcode>
if
<structfield>pktflags</structfield>
in the packet header structure
<type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>
indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
