60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein and <em class="parameter"><code>type</code></em>.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <em class="parameter"><code>hostname</code></em> is a pointer a to
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein null-terminated string. The <em class="parameter"><code>flags</code></em> field
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein is currently unused and must be zero.
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein After a successful call to

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <em class="parameter"><code>*res</code></em> is a pointer to an
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <span class="type">rrsetinfo</span> structure, containing a list of one or

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein are properties of the obtained rrset. The resource records

60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <code class="constant">rri_sigs</code> are in uncompressed DNS wire
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein format. Properties of the rdataset are represented in the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein <code class="constant">rri_flags</code> bitfield. If the RRSET_VALIDATED
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein bit is set, the data has been DNSSEC validated and the
60e5e10f8d2e2b0c41e8abad38cacd867caa6ab2Rob Austein signatures verified.
