.TH ARES_MKQUERY 3 "4 January 2000" |
|
.SH NAME |
|
ares_mkquery \- Compose a single-question DNS query buffer |
|
.SH SYNOPSIS |
|
.nf |
|
.B #include <ares.h> |
|
.PP |
|
.B int ares_mkquery(const char *\fIname\fP, int \fIdnsclass\fP, int \fItype\fP, |
|
.B unsigned short \fIid\fP, int \fIrd\fP, char **\fIbuf\fP, |
|
.B int *\fIbuflen\fP) |
|
.fi |
|
.SH DESCRIPTION |
|
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 |
|
.B ares_free_string |
|
when it is no longer needed. |
|
.SH RETURN VALUES |
|
.B ares_mkquery |
|
can return any of the following values: |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_SUCCESS |
|
Construction of the DNS query succeeded. |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_EBADNAME |
|
The query name |
|
.I name |
|
could not be encoded as a domain name, either because it contained a |
|
zero-length label or because it contained a label of more than 63 |
|
characters. |
|
.TP 15 |
|
.B ARES_ENOMEM |
|
Memory was exhausted. |
