ares_parse_aaaa_reply − Parse a reply to a DNS query of type AAAA
#include <ares.h>
int
ares_parse_aaaa_reply(const unsigned char *abuf, int
alen,
struct hostent **host,
struct ares_addr6ttl *addrttls, int
*naddrttls);
The ares_parse_aaaa_reply function parses the response to a query of type AAAA into a struct hostent and/or an array of struct ares_addr6ttl. The parameters abuf and alen give the contents of the response. The result is stored in allocated memory and a pointer to it stored into the variable pointed to by host, if host is nonnull. It is the caller’s responsibility to free the resulting host structure using ares_free_hostent(3) when it is no longer needed.
If addrttls and naddrttls are both nonnull, then up to *naddrttls struct ares_addr6ttl records are stored in the array pointed to by addrttls, and then *naddrttls is set to the number of records so stored. Note that the memory for these records is supplied by the caller.
ares_parse_aaaa_reply can return any of the following values:
ARES_SUCCESS |
The response was successfully parsed. |
|||
ARES_EBADRESP |
The response was malformatted. |
|||
ARES_ENODATA |
The response did not contain an answer to the query. |
|||
ARES_ENOMEM |
Memory was exhausted. |
ares_gethostbyname(3), ares_free_hostent(3)
