#include <ares.h>

int ares_expand_name(const unsigned char *\fIencoded\fP,

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.B ares_expand_name
|
|
|
|
function converts a DNS-encoded domain name to a dot-separated C
|
|
|
|
string. The argument
|
|
|
|
.I encoded
|
|
|
|
gives the beginning of the encoded domain name, and the arguments
|
|
|
|
.I abuf
|
|
|
|
and
|
|
|
|
.I alen
|
|
|
|
give the containing message buffer (necessary for the processing of
|
|
|
|
indirection pointers within the encoded domain name). The result is
|
|
|
|
placed in a NUL-terminated allocated buffer, a pointer to which is
|
|
|
|
stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.IR s .
|
|
|
|
The length of the encoded name is stored in the variable pointed to by
|
|
|
|
.I enclen
|
|
|
|
so that the caller can advance past the encoded domain name to read
|
|
|
|
further data in the message.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Use \fIares_free_string(3)\fP to free the allocated hostname.
|
|
|
|
