<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
|
|
lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The no-op message is analogous to a <command>ping</command> packet:
|
|
a packet is sent to the resolver daemon and is simply echoed back.
|
|
The opcode is intended to allow a client to determine if the server is
|
|
operational or not.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
|
|
One render function converts a no-op request structure —
|
|
<type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> —
|
|
to the lighweight resolver's canonical format.
|
|
It is complemented by a parse function that converts a packet in this
|
|
canonical format to a no-op request structure.
|
|
Another render function converts the no-op response structure —
|
|
<type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type>
|
|
to the canonical format.
|
|
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
|
|
canonical format to a no-op response structure.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
These structures are defined in
|
|
<filename>lwres/lwres.h</filename>.
|
|
|
|
They are shown below.
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
#define LWRES_OPCODE_NOOP 0x00000000U
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
lwres_uint16_t datalength;
|
|
unsigned char *data;
|
|
} lwres_nooprequest_t;
|
|
|
|
typedef struct {
|
|
lwres_uint16_t datalength;
|
|
unsigned char *data;
|
|
} lwres_noopresponse_t;
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
Although the structures have different types, they are identical.
|
|
This is because the no-op opcode simply echos whatever data was sent:
|
|
the response is therefore identical to the request.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_render()</function> uses resolver
|
|
context <parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert no-op 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_noopresponse_render()</function>
|
|
performs the same task, except it converts a no-op response structure
|
|
<type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> to the lightweight resolver's
|
|
canonical format.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function> uses context
|
|
<parameter>ctx</parameter> to convert the contents of packet
|
|
<parameter>pkt</parameter> to a <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type>
|
|
structure. Buffer <parameter>b</parameter> provides space to be used
|
|
for storing this structure. When the function succeeds, the resulting
|
|
<type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type> is made available through
|
|
<parameter>*structp</parameter>.
|
|
<function>lwres_noopresponse_parse()</function> offers the same
|
|
semantics as <function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function> except it
|
|
yields a <type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> structure.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
<function>lwres_noopresponse_free()</function> and
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_free()</function> release the memory in
|
|
resolver context <parameter>ctx</parameter> that was allocated to the
|
|
<type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type> or <type>lwres_nooprequest_t</type>
|
|
structures referenced via <parameter>structp</parameter>.
|

<title>RETURN VALUES</title>

<para>
|
|
The no-op opcode functions
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_render()</function>,
|
|
|
|
<function>lwres_noopresponse_render()</function>
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function>
|
|
and
|
|
<function>lwres_noopresponse_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_nooprequest_t</type>
|
|
and
|
|
<type>lwres_noopresponse_t</type>
|
|
structures.
|
|
<function>lwres_nooprequest_parse()</function>
|
|
and
|
|
<function>lwres_noopresponse_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
|
|
<constant>pktflags</constant>
|
|
in the packet header structure
|
|
<type>lwres_lwpacket_t</type>
|
|
indicate that the packet is not a response to an earlier query.
