|

int ares_mkquery(const char *\fIname\fP, int \fIdnsclass\fP, int \fItype\fP,

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Deprecated function. See \fIares_create_query(3)\fP instead!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.B ares_mkquery
|
|
|
|
function composes a DNS query with a single question.
|
|
|
|
The parameter
|
|
|
|
.I name
|
|
|
|
gives the query name as a NUL-terminated C string of period-separated
|
|
|
|
labels optionally ending with a period; periods and backslashes within
|
|
|
|
a label must be escaped with a backlash. The parameters
|
|
|
|
.I dnsclass
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I type
|
|
|
|
give the class and type of the query using the values defined in
|
|
|
|
.BR <arpa/nameser.h> .
|
|
|
|
The parameter
|
|
|
|
.I id
|
|
|
|
gives a 16-bit identifier for the query. The parameter
|
|
|
|
.I rd
|
|
|
|
should be nonzero if recursion is desired, zero if not. The query
|
|
|
|
will be placed in an allocated buffer, a pointer to which will be
|
|
|
|
stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.IR buf ,
|
|
|
|
and the length of which will be stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.IR buflen .
|
|
|
|
It is the caller's responsibility to free this buffer using
|
|
|
|
\fIares_free_string(3)\fP when it is no longer needed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage of \fIares_mkquery(3)\fP is deprecated, whereas the function is
|
|
|
|
equivalent to \fIares_create_query(3)\fP with \fBmax_udp_size\fP set to
|
|
|
|
0.
