DESCRIPTION

     These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
     lightweight resolver name-to-address lookup request and
     response messages.

     There are four main functions for the getaddrbyname opcode.
     One render function converts a getaddrbyname request
     structure - lwres_gabnrequest_t - to the lightweight
     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 -
     lwres_gabnresponse_t - to the canonical format. This is
     complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
     canonical format to a getaddrbyname response structure.

     These structures are defined in <lwres/lwres.h>. They are
     shown below.

         typedef struct lwres_addr lwres_addr_t;
         typedef LWRES_LIST(lwres_addr_t) lwres_addrlist_t;

         typedef struct {
                 lwres_uint32_t  flags;
                 lwres_uint32_t  addrtypes;

         } lwres_gabnrequest_t;

         typedef struct {
                 lwres_uint32_t          flags;
                 lwres_uint16_t          naliases;
                 lwres_uint16_t          naddrs;
                 char                   *realname;
                 char                  **aliases;
                 lwres_uint16_t          realnamelen;
                 lwres_uint16_t         *aliaslen;

                 size_t                  baselen;
         } lwres_gabnresponse_t;

     lwres_gabnrequest_render() uses resolver context ctx to
     convert getaddrbyname request structure req to canonical
     format. The packet header structure pkt is initialised and
     transferred to buffer b. The contents of *req are then
     appended to the buffer in canonical format.
     lwres_gabnresponse_render() performs the same task, except
     it converts a getaddrbyname response structure
     lwres_gabnresponse_t to the lightweight resolver's canonical
     format.

     lwres_gabnrequest_parse() uses context ctx to convert the
     contents of packet pkt to a lwres_gabnrequest_t structure.
     Buffer b provides space to be used for storing this
     structure. When the function succeeds, the resulting
     lwres_gabnrequest_t is made available through *structp.
     lwres_gabnresponse_parse() offers the same semantics as
     lwres_gabnrequest_parse() except it yields a
     lwres_gabnresponse_t structure.

     lwres_gabnresponse_free() and lwres_gabnrequest_free()
     release the memory in resolver context ctx that was
     allocated to the lwres_gabnresponse_t or lwres_gabnrequest_t
     structures referenced via structp. Any memory associated
     with ancillary buffers and strings for those structures is
     also discarded.

RETURN VALUES

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