<a name="id2549540"></a><h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver address-to-name lookup request and
response messages.
</p>
<p>
There are four main functions for the getnamebyaddr opcode.
One render function converts a getnamebyaddr request structure &#8212;
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span> &#8212;
to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
canonical format to a getnamebyaddr request structure.
Another render function converts the getnamebyaddr response structure &#8212;
<span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span>
to the canonical format.
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a getnamebyaddr response structure.
</p>
<p>
These structures are defined in
<code class="filename">lwres/lwres.h</code>.
They are shown below.
</p>
<pre class="programlisting">
#define LWRES_OPCODE_GETNAMEBYADDR 0x00010002U
typedef struct {
lwres_uint32_t flags;
lwres_addr_t addr;
} lwres_gnbarequest_t;
typedef struct {
lwres_uint32_t flags;
lwres_uint16_t naliases;
char *realname;
char **aliases;
lwres_uint16_t realnamelen;
lwres_uint16_t *aliaslen;
void *base;
size_t baselen;
} lwres_gnbaresponse_t;
</pre>
<p>
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_render()</code>
uses resolver context
<code class="varname">ctx</code>
to convert getnamebyaddr request structure
<code class="varname">req</code>
to canonical format.
The packet header structure
<code class="varname">pkt</code>
is initialised and transferred to
buffer
<code class="varname">b</code>.
The contents of
<code class="varname">*req</code>
are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</code>
performs the same task, except it converts a getnamebyaddr response structure
<span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span>
to the lightweight resolver's canonical format.
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</code>
uses context
<code class="varname">ctx</code>
to convert the contents of packet
<code class="varname">pkt</code>
to a
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span>
structure.
Buffer
<code class="varname">b</code>
provides space to be used for storing this structure.
When the function succeeds, the resulting
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span>
is made available through
<code class="varname">*structp</code>.
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</code>
offers the same semantics as
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</code>
except it yields a
<span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span>
structure.
</p>
<p>
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_free()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_free()</code>
release the memory in resolver context
<code class="varname">ctx</code>
that was allocated to the
<span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span>
or
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span>
structures referenced via
<code class="varname">structp</code>.
Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
structures is also discarded.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id2549733"></a><h2>RETURN VALUES</h2>
<p>
The getnamebyaddr opcode functions
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_render()</code>,
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</code>
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</code>
all return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_SUCCESS</span>
on success.
They return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_NOMEMORY</span>
if memory allocation fails.
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
is returned if the available space in the buffer
<code class="varname">b</code>
is too small to accommodate the packet header or the
<span class="type">lwres_gnbarequest_t</span>
and
<span class="type">lwres_gnbaresponse_t</span>
structures.
<code class="function">lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</code>
and
<code class="function">lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</code>
will return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_UNEXPECTEDEND</span>
if the buffer is not empty after decoding the received packet.
These functions will return
<span class="errorcode">LWRES_R_FAILURE</span>
if
<em class="structfield"><code>pktflags</code></em>
in the packet header structure
<span class="type">lwres_lwpacket_t</span>
indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
