<a name="id2514214"></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>

typedef struct {
        lwres_uint32_t  flags;
        lwres_addr_t    addr;
} lwres_gnbarequest_t;
</pre>
<p>
    </p>
<pre class="programlisting">
typedef struct {
        lwres_uint32_t  flags;
        lwres_uint16_t  naliases;

        char          **aliases;

</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.

<a name="id2514490"></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.
