.TH ARES_EXPAND_NAME 3 "23 July 1998" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_expand_name \- Expand a DNS-encoded domain name |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
.B #include <ares.h> |
|
.PP |
|
.B int ares_expand_name(const unsigned char *\fIencoded\fP, |
|
.B const unsigned char *\fIabuf\fP, int \fIalen\fP, char **\fIs\fP, |
|
.B int *\fIenclen\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.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. |
|
.SH RETURN VALUES |
|
.B ares_expand_name |
|
can return any of the following values: |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS |
|
Expansion of the encoded name succeeded. |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_EBADNAME |
|
The encoded domain name was malformed and could not be expanded. |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM |
|
Memory was exhausted. |
