>DESCRIPTION</H2
><P
>These are low-level routines for creating and parsing
lightweight resolver no-op request and response messages.</P
><P
>The no-op message is analogous to a <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ping</B
> 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.</P
><P
>There are four main functions for the no-op opcode.
One render function converts a no-op request structure &mdash;
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_nooprequest_t</SPAN
> &mdash;
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 &mdash;
<SPAN
CLASS="TYPE"
>lwres_noopresponse_t</SPAN
>
to the canonical format.
This is complemented by a parse function which converts a packet in
canonical format to a no-op response structure.</P
><P
>These structures are defined in
<TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>lwres/lwres.h</TT
>.
They are shown below.
<PRE
CLASS="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;</PRE
>
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.</P

><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_nooprequest_render()</TT

context <TT

><I

<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>req</I
></TT
> to canonical format. The packet header
structure <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I

><I

></TT
>. The contents of
<TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I
>*req</I
></TT
> are then appended to the buffer in
canonical format. <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>lwres_noopresponse_render()</TT

<SPAN

canonical format.</P

<SPAN

<TT
