>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 &mdash;
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_gnbarequest_t</SPAN
> &mdash;
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 &mdash;
<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
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>lwres/lwres.h</TT
>.
They are shown below.

CLASS="FUNCTION"

uses resolver context
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>ctx</TT
>
to convert getnamebyaddr request structure
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>req</TT
>
to canonical format.
The packet header structure
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>pkt</TT
>
is initialised and transferred to
buffer
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>b</TT
>.
The contents of
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>*req</TT
>
are then appended to the buffer in canonical format.
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbaresponse_render()</TT
>
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
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</TT
>
uses context
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>ctx</TT
>
to convert the contents of packet
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>pkt</TT
>
to a
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_gnbarequest_t</SPAN
>
structure.
Buffer
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>b</TT
>
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
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>*structp</TT
>.
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbaresponse_parse()</TT
>
offers the same semantics as
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbarequest_parse()</TT
>
except it yields a
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</SPAN
>
structure.</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbaresponse_free()</TT
>
and
<TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_gnbarequest_free()</TT
>
release the memory in resolver context
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>ctx</TT

that was allocated to the
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_gnbaresponse_t</SPAN
>
or
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_gnbarequest_t</SPAN
>
structures referenced via
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>structp</TT
>.
Any memory associated with ancillary buffers and strings for those
structures is also discarded.</P
